Gone is the day
feeling my way
I let up on the gas
and I turn

Yes, I’ve been here before
Yes, I know what
the where-for
Around this sharp corner
I learn

And above all that’s else
I discern

New quantities round
not fully found
no neat preconceptions
to intend

Still… comes the joy
yes, I am THAT boy
A man of loose years
on the mend

Happy to need not
defend

And above all that’s else
she’s a friend

A partner, a lover
a light-shining cover

The night of our day
will not end

——

Blessed…
