If I Knew Poem by John Powers

If I Knew



If I knew
I'd be going away
today
if I knew
I'd be going away

we would have spent
one more day
together
today
if I knew
I'd be going away.

Time has come
to carry me home
where
I am destined
to be alone

But for he
who does long and
burn
I do yearn
to be with you

If I'd known
I'd be going away
today
If I'd known
I'd be going away

I would have given
myself
to you
today
If I'd known
I'd be going away

I'd have taken
you home
with me
If I known
I'd be going away.

Very thoughtful. I like the intensity even though each line if brief. One rarely knows when one will be called away. Ahh - Life is such.
