W.S. Merwin To the Air ]ust when I needed you there you were I cannot say how long you had been present all at once color of the day as it comes to be seen color of before face of forgetting color of heaven out of sight within myself leaving me all the time only to return without question never could I live without you never have you belonged to me never do I want you not to be with me you who have been the breath of everyone and of each word spoken without needing to know the meaning of any of them or who was speaking when you are the wind where do you start from when you are still where do you go you who became all the names I have known and the lives in which they came and went invisible friend go on telling me again again
