wednesday above waters

atlantic crossing
returning to montreal
same journey as years before
then it was a garden in england
roses to take you through summer
how much has changed
how much hasn't

time's remains
who's remains
who remains

where it matters
little matter for change
things go through turnings
yet the same breeze
arrests you at the threshold

yourself you are
endings and beginnings
of paths converging
paths effacing
journeys to come
