Upstream
Brendan Devitt
Today I make my way among
The rocks and pools that hold me back
Away from where I need to be
Alone, in love, with you
I stare upstream
If life is a dream, then where have you been all of this time?
You stood beside the pool at dawn
So shadow could not fall upon
And finally when the coast seemed clear
I took your line and disappeared upstream
There's a war in between what's hidden and seen that I have to fight
I never felt a touch like yours that opens minds and closes doors
And every single night I'd spent without your love was worth it in the end
It's as close as we get to the dream that we let grow in our mind
