Bookends

Bookends - I

I want to know you…

I want to know why

You keep yourself

To yourself

So much of the time

What do you find

In those solitary hours

Alone in the storm

Walking in the rain

I want to know

Why you are such

Good friends with the dark

What do you seek there

And what do you find

Is it the nothingness

That calls you home

I want to know

If you sleep

If you ever find peace

When you shut your eyes at night

Is your mind filled

With the haunting past

Or the intangible future

I want to know

Why certain music speaks to you

For I find it sings to me too

Does it become

Your voice

When you yourself

Have no words to say

I want to know you…
