ONE LONG TEAR
my life stories on
those old dice
keep rolling
days of trouble
days of fun
days of learning
and knowing
that one long day
may be the sum
of where it is
im slowly going
sometimes i stop
to just listen
what is that distant
sound im hearing
the surf crash
of ghosts in my heart
or the whisper trail
of one long tear
trickling down
many long years
i look and listen
more closely now
but the window
is fogged
and the answer
is unspoken
too much is
still missing here
yet beyond all this
will things be clearer
and on looking back
will the window appear
to be open
or not a window
but a mirror
to reflect a smile
or one long tear
that falls again
into the mirror
just waiting
to be
rebroken
