PARTING

I'm waiting for a miracle, you see.
You say the cards said I must learn to trust.
In what? Some angel looking out for me
Between the prior void and future dust?

Don't think I'm paralysed, inert because
I'm waiting for a miracle. You see
An older man who's finding that his flaws
Have led directly to uncertainty.

Don't think I haven't prayed that I might be
Allowed to leave in peace, not pain. That's why
I'm waiting. For a miracle, you see,
You must have faith enough to let things die.

Have I that faith, to swim into the night,
To plunge into this torrent knowingly?
Where there's a promise of some future light
I'm waiting, for a miracle. You see?

You and me both, Chai. You and me both.

Phone me soon, huh? I am going to be offsite for a while.
