All afternoon we watched that storm
over your favorite field;
the wind on my face, the worry in yours,
the wheat and the sea and your elm

I am dust, let me settle;
all reason unwound
We are ravelled and shaken,
not touching the ground

Other places, other times
I remembered my lines -
but here I know it all by heart, by heart

Take my hand, I'll walk with you
when we are old and beyond
Time it was when even the sky
stretched out like the map for a fight

You are dust, you can settle;
all reason unwound
We are flying, unfurled, nowhere to be found

When the forest is silent
lightening will strike
We are tinder and we set the world on fire, on fire

After all is said
there is still no greater love
World without end
