Where You Go

You  
are the only thing I have  
all I can be sure of  
your certainty slipping by  
away and away  
while I fool myself  
for one more day  
never wanting to believe  
you wont stay  
forever  
 
When first we made you  
in water and sand  
honing precision  
from flickering star and shadow  
we saw  
you could never be owned  
but we gave you control  
surrendered the power  
that orders our lives  
to a notion without a soul  
 
On nights to wonder  
how mountains hold their breath  
while oceans dream of fury stilled  
the machine of our creation  
never sleeps  
when your heart that can't be broken  
always beats  
slipping by  
away and away  
and away  
 
How God must laugh out loud
to be the only one  
who knows
