so what now

 so what now

come on 

when you pray for prey 

you might as well stand mute

it passed a while ago now

how youth is wasted while …

well you know how it goes

it went

stalking time 

that

they say moves in both directions 

as you well know 

so what now

"light breaks where no sun"

 "light breaks where no sun"

and there is this poem 

by dylan thomas 

that i read to my two boys 

and now it reads me of that hour

when my voice was not his voice

and my words meant not what he said 

but visions conjured up to sit stubborn

on the throne of time to rule for all time

for did you not read and say and think

that way

and now why should the new thoughts 

beg change in this passing of time

oh no

let the idiom lie where it fell 

where closed eyes slept the still of dusks 

and nights and dawns and dusks 

let lie it there where tongue first curled 

its meaning

and three minds combined in that moment

when time itself stood still to read us

love’s lullaby of a rare moment 

halted
