aosid's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

years and miles

i haven't given up the ghost
but i've grown to know its face
through verdant dreams
through lidless nights
over miles of roads
in lustrous inks

i don't touch you
i don't know you
but i touched you then
i knew you then
neath frozen earth
our roots tangle somewhere

i haven't given up the ghost
my friend it shows me life
in funeral leaves
in lakes of ice
in aging thunder
in burnt sugar

your hand in another's
gives me more than
it would
in mine

your faith alone -
fragile, tireless -
it burns
with mine
