You said it was the zeitgeist and I knew
That I thought I knew that you did not know
Your zeit from your geist but then that was you
And you did it well so I let it go
But I knew what you meant and now I think
That you could tell the ghost of the time then
Though I could tell later there on the brink
In those days I was never quite sure when
You might be feeling serious someday
And turn (because I could not turn away)
Then someday you felt serious at last
And it was my privilege to be there
When one became another's answered prayer
(Nor does this go away though time flow fast)
Being and wanting to be I embrace
Being as it is unfiltered and raw
And through your honest eyes I have seen grace
And though it has been a hard freeze a thaw
And you did it well but then that was you
You said it was the zeitgeist and you knew
