Clairvoyant Elegy
by: Robert Zimmerman

I should have left it all behind me
But there some things that people
Just seem drawn to - like I am with you.

Nothing's stopping me
From reaching toward
The highest peak
From reaching towards you.

Now I see
That there are so many things
That you incite in me.
Like the sun
In a growing flower
I'm connected to your light.

Why can't I move on?
I does me no good
To sit and write to mourn.
But some things
Simply aren't worth giving up
Like the way you make me feel.

I should have left it all behind me
But there some things that people
Just seem drawn to - like I am with you.

I should have gone
When you ceased to sing your song
Aloud.
But I have hope,
That you will sing again -
If not so loud or strong -
Deep inside.
