confluence

a torrent in the eyes to start

fading frames 'twixt here and there

a kiss can still ignite the heart

and render warmth on frozen air

these seasons just don't know their place

it keeps us at the wheel

we're stretching out to warmer space

in which to finally feel

something caught between winter and spring

a touch one fears to make

who knows just what some trust can bring

were we a simple chance to take

amid these tired phases here

pendulums of flesh and bone

can't cling to what is dear

eternal, distant, walk alone

but i can tell you, it is true

the warmth is drawing near

bleeding sun is come of blue

the confluence is here

if torrents move the lives we lead

as seasons mired in flux

at precipice one comes to need

a higher state of trust

can't help the words or euphemisms

they e'er mean something more

beyond the dross and pessimism

chaining dreamers to the floor

these times are neither here, nor there

no season formed in which to love

the chest not full, nor fully bare

it's not the state one e'er dreams of
