Sudden kinship

 

There was nothing like a ghostly face at the window


but the face of yesterday's child reflected in your own


one note of your song foretold a thousand


a single raindrop fell for the deluge to follow

 

 

Whose place I take accepting your testimony I do not know


the greatest spirit can do no more than witness


where a wound is revealed typically a thousand might be


no judgement I'll make but your trust I shall hallow
