Charity Janisse

It was you
down that road through the fog
in the early morning light,
it was you in the distance and on my mind.

You are the reason I explore this land
the reason my hand has slipped out of every other hand.

It was you in the mist
you in a dream
you in a thought or a memory.

You in a hope
you in a wish
you I desire
you that I miss.

And I looked down the tracks as far as my eyes would take me,
through trees, beyond the morning fog, into the skies and on beyond…

Because I knew one day I would see you again and be sure … That It was you.
