A Craving

You are far
And yet near
You are far
And yet dear

Many times
I’ve been hurt
I’ve been crawling
In the dirt

But I’ve the eyes
For to see
The sun
You bring for me

It’s the sun
That’s in you
And that time
Will not undo

It’s the flowers
In your hand
And the shingles
In the sand

It’s the sky
And the trees
And the gentleness
Of the breeze

It’s everywhere
You tread
It’s the grace
Of your head

It’s everything
That’s in you
And that time
Will not undo.
