I found a place, a deep, water-filled cave
Where I could lose myself for a time, stem
The expanding void--I knew I'd be brave
Among the bats and the mud and the stone.
Instead, I found echoing in the dark
Heartbeats of promise I was now alone--
I saw my life on a desolate arc
That would not vanish when I left the cave--
I'd stayed down so long, I now saw the moon
Lighting the forest that fractured the wave
Of falling rain beating out the same tune
Your eyes made in me when I saw them last--
All my love's beauty belongs to my past.
