Own time

As long as I see flesh and blood,
I can wait a century -
a new soul, a new memory
ready for the season's flood.

As long as you break every bone
till all left is its marrow
eaten by the holiest sparrow
my hope in this shall not be gone.

As long as you look out and search within
and this word is on its own,
a beating heart upon the stone,
here's what I'm believing in.

And long as you laugh and cry and are proud
and feel you are right over there
I go with you, I dare
to want to touch a cloud.
