Baalbeck November 15, 1983

Between Here and There
When I forget that I was anywhere
And you pass by missing the view
Harbour your yearnings and weep your hopes there
Leaving the tears a memory of you
Which may water the sod to grow the turf
Over the glebe where we sat in days of yore
Looking the sea the shore the breaking surf
Each dreaming of each shadows loved before
Those shadows were the joy of life still there
Standing uplifted by the living air
Looking into vacancies of chance where
We were awake dizzied unaware
Of the sweeping time we’ve lost anywhere
On the hills of hope between here and there.
