When bewildered paths cross

Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)



The light shown through the trees

Illuminated darkness

I walk alone, in a forest, made of men and many

I look to left only to see the stars brighten the sky

To the right, only trees

I wish there was a way you could see this with me

I want to write and spawn seedlings and become anew

And I want you here

With me
