Out and away

A. Bax

Silvery-black, and silvery-blue,

Delicate, dainty, silvery shoe,

We are as young and as old as you.

Without, apart, afar, you climb,

Haunting the gulfs and the deeps of time;

What do you hunt, without reason or rhyme?

Me, and he, and she, and thee,

Lending each other our mystery;

Always the One, wherever we be.

Silvery-black, and silvery-blue,

Delicate, dainty, silvery shoe,

We are as young and as old as you.
