The Turns
David Bronson

You told me it was too much

I said that’s exactly how I want it, so

We, although nothing could be gained,

gave it everything just the same


So we grabbed on tight and held fast just like a child

And watched the best idea so quickly turn

the worst one, though

In those few hundred times you gave to me the whole,

the full inside, a single lifetime


But then all that was just a catalyst, a means to another end

There was no way we could know what we were headed for

And the saddest part about it was to lose the best of friends

But when that dust fell down that turn revealed a better thing, that was never there before


When I came to it was much too much to handle

So much easier to just get into someone else, not myself

And before too long I was staring down another, the real one lost and left alone



But that was just a catalyst, a means to another end

There was no way we could know what we were headed for

And I had to learn the hard way you can break before you bend

But when that dust fell down that turn revealed a better thing, that was never there before


So began the upward climb of pure survival

Just some half-hearted vague idea to go that way, no other way

But before too long you get picked up by the current, pushed along and day by day


Inside symmetry takes hold again, division leaves the fold

All the time required, I find myself the most surprised

A rejoining combination brings us back to almost whole

But all the time required, I find myself the most surprised


Forever faithful for the things these turns reveal


Forever grateful for the things these turns reveal
