If We Have Time
Softly, the air lifts and falls,
Rocking your sleep-cradled form
From this too-quiet room
I've watched the days go from you
Who of us must decide, by ear or eye, if we have time?
Guileless, we wait for the sun
To rest here, blinking and stunned
Who of us must decide, by ear or eye, if we have time?
Who will be planting seeds;
Who will be sifting through the earth?
Who will be on their knees
To dig through the mysteries of birth?
Who of us, who of us, who of us?
One kiss can harbor all fears
Of words bleached white from the years
Who of us must decide, by ear or eye, if we have time?
Who will be planting seeds;
Who will be sifting through the earth?
Who will be on their knees
To dig through the mysteries of birth?
Who of us, who of us, who of us?
Who knows if we have time?
Is this the core of the words
From which no voice can be heard?
Who of us, undisguised, will realize if we have time?
Rocking your sleep-cradled form
From this too-quiet room
I've watched the days go from you
Who of us must decide, by ear or eye, if we have time?
Guileless, we wait for the sun
To rest here, blinking and stunned
Who of us must decide, by ear or eye, if we have time?
Who will be planting seeds;
Who will be sifting through the earth?
Who will be on their knees
To dig through the mysteries of birth?
Who of us, who of us, who of us?
One kiss can harbor all fears
Of words bleached white from the years
Who of us must decide, by ear or eye, if we have time?
Who will be planting seeds;
Who will be sifting through the earth?
Who will be on their knees
To dig through the mysteries of birth?
Who of us, who of us, who of us?
Who knows if we have time?
Is this the core of the words
From which no voice can be heard?
Who of us, undisguised, will realize if we have time?
