It Echoes Back

It echoes back from the heart of not knowing,
This is a place where we must always stand
As it is not always so easy to find a way
Through to the hidden centre of these times
And find that moment that holds us
Both together within itself
In a way that we cannot escape or deny.

We are here and here we remain
No matter what we try to say or unsay
Or even if one of us rises
from this bed to walk away
To some other life where we feel more
Than what this small room can offer,
Than this small lifetime we hang on to
Can ever give us now we have wasted
Too many years waiting here for it to begin.
