Karma Tonic: Chapter 37:Before I Go

So many thoughts, gliding each day
Pulled by the sleeves, past fell like a prey
Uncooked Pinki Swear, tossed in array
A year down yonder, love turned stray.

That lake by the house glittered like a ray
You were shining around the petals, it didn't look gay
Moon knew my fear, but it dare not say
Promises were high, like tides in the bay
Balcony was coy, whether night or day
An abhorring kick and it fell far far away.

Faith slumbered like needle in the hay
Blood benumbed, even churns during the day
Hurts till Sunday, hardly makes a way
A letter today, before I go away,
There’s a doorway in the heart
Where memories will always stay

Now you're telling me, you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it, you who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague, because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly, yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid.
- Joan Baez, Diamonds & Rust
