Know Who You Are

For Myself

Don’t be so certain

The person who spent time with you, then did not

Don’t pretend; they changed you

And the person who pledges all their time to you

Don’t be afraid

And the lemons of Sorrento

And the gulls of Capri

And the black sands of Positano

Let them all change you

And the steps of Revello, make no mistake

Each one holds the prayer, “Let me never be the same”

(The limestone hillsides crumble, brightening the water’s blue)

And the way the Sirenuse lies in the glittering Tyrrhenian

It has much to teach you

Don’t be so certain
