turn away


while I talk
please don't turn away
let me - just let me talk.
I'll tell you of youth
and dreams and babies
love and sharing
and the ground we look at
as we move past these things.
memory as hope as life -
a skyful of blue promise
quickly clouding over -
light fading
no notice taken;
you turn away,
you who haven't yet the need
to gather dreams as hope
and to wrap yourself in memory.
you turn away.

looking all around I find
just myself
in the emptiness
and stand in silence
waiting for you to come back
holding these dreams and memories
close.
