i did not believe

and now i know, you can have it, and find it and spend it
and see it and feel it and hate it, you can push it and pull
it and widdle it away to nothing, and still its there

it does not lose its resonance,
it finds its own appeal

it shifts between us
like the gears upon the wheel

it carries well and ill

it flourishes even if
you kill it, i ask it
to die but it says
it never will.

oh how i know you
better then myself,
love, you never fail
to rescue me, you
always keep me
you always,
keep me.
