once again
down the broken steps of
crumbling ideas
through the flooded mess of
conceptual fields
over the biting stones of
regret remembered
into shining stars of
understanding embers
i love you
the way you carry on
like a strong wind
to the shore again
i honor you
the way you return
like an old friend
and leave again
i know you
the way i know this
poet's hand
i understand
once again
