More Than One
Andrew Graham
When was the last time
Someone sang just for you
Alone in your room
I'll tell you mine
If you'll listen
The breeze kicked in
With a quiet voice
Like yours
And when I turned around
There were leaves blowing in
And I counted them
Every one was different
Like I've never seen before
I touched them with my fingertips
They crumpled
On the floor
I swept them up
And threw them out
The front door
And I thought
This beginning
Is like the end
In many ways
More than one
