Maybe (+1)

Maybe I’ll remember,

maybe you will too

 

Maybe once it mattered,

maybe more to whom

 

Maybe this will lessen,

maybe it will salve

 

Maybe there’s forgiveness,

maybe—maybe not

This Light Unveils

 

It’s not important what I know,

but what I choose to feel

 

The facts once vital fall away,

my fruit now fully peeled

 

The numbers orphaned, the glory waived,

a whiter shade of pale

 

The music constant, the darkness gone,

all truth—this light unveils
