This is a weave of an older poem (Snowlight) with a new poem. There is a song. I’m working on it!
Snow light lead the way
On this path I know by day.
Finding night
As it lay.
Soft crunch under my feet.
Ghostly shadows entreat.
“Go where it ends”
Seeking my oldest friend.
I can’t remember her name.
Wonder if it’s still the same?
As when we played our childhood games.
The sun just starting to rise
Through a cloudy sky.
As I slowly
Open my eyes
It is all around me here
These things that I fear.
Whispers in the wind
Confront my only (oldest) sin.
I can’t remember your name.
Is it still the same?
I am the only one to blame
So I make my way
To have my say.
And if I stay very still
I hear the lonely trill.
The mourning birdsong
Telling me I belong
To this haunted wood
That has always stood
I have forgotten my name.
Wonder if it’s still the same
The one I wore in pain?
Here deep in the pine
I feel the slowing of time
Slowing my heartbeat
And my wandering feet
In the stillness there
If I listen I might here
My name.
(can you remember my name?)
Can you tell me my name?
Is it still the same?
Is that why I came.
I can remember my name.
I wonder if it’s still the same?.
The only one I claim.
This is a snippet of the song.
