the Kindest Man i felt i knew

 the kindest man i felt i knew

...and if all i have is this now,
then it's the one thing
that i never knew...

i may never know
who you truly are
but could you spare me a moment
of thought, even feeling
to possibly wonder
if you know, under your skin, who i am,

or so the mystery proves...

elusive...distant, removed.

(but yes, I'll die trying, fractured light, the sun soaked,
walking to the end of the earth, proved..
just as i tried, and died again
wholeheartedly, with, and amongst,
the unspoken of you)

the kindest man, i felt so deeply,
i knew.
