Then Give Back
When that song is sung out of me
And that breath is gone from me
When those closing eyes are mine
And that silence fills my mouth
Then I will give myself back
When the turning wheel is staid
And the longest road is walked
When gravity is satisfied completely
And all my poetry has been written
Then I will give myself back
I will give myself back
To the ground
To the soil
I'll lay myself down
Give myself back to the earth
From where I came
When the flower's head is closing for the night
And the worms return below the surface
When the tune I've been humming is finished
And the daydream of all I've known is broken
Then I will give myself back
When the trivial moments are beyond mundane
And the steady hand-hold no longer offered
When the night is a bruised black and star-less
And every wish is washed clean away
Then I will give myself back
And in giving back all I've ever had
I hope to fuel another chance for life
I will give myself back
To the ground
To the soil
I'll lay myself down
Give myself to the ground
From where I came
The sparkle of blue eyes must end somewhere
And I hope that place is somewhere with you
This constant wash of love will never end
No matter the endless stillness in my heart
Once it's given back...
