HYMN FORGOTTEN

touches upon that slender tread connecting us all, heart and soul, even as we (existentially) exist apart. Our ‘separateness’ could be what binds as one humanity. The connection we all experience of love felt, lost, and re-imagined. A sort of hymn remembered, one that won’t hurt your knees as you kneel in phony church. Alone, we stand together.

lyrics

HYMN FORGOTTEN

there is a hymn
that I’ve
forgotten
there is a prayer
that i should know
but it has vanished
a face i can’t
remember
a silver dollar
in the falling
snow

it’s not
for me
to sing it
it’s not a whisper
or a tear
that falls
it’s just a love
that’s universal
a simple song
to bring me home
back to that street
where i
belong

on porches
bus stops
n ballparks
in a city block
we stand together
not that
far apart
two souls outside
screaming
screaming at the stars
screaming our lungs out
in the back year

we stand together
or we’re nothing
nothing at all
feel my heart
against yr hand
it’s just like yours
my heart is just
like yours
