The skies are clouded
but beyond the layers
of gray and black
starlight and a moon
I cannot see.

I travel knowing
but not knowing
beneath the street lamps,
my eyes fixed on cobblestone.

As I make my way
I signal you with a smile,
one of remembrance
and distant shining.

You are out there
somewhere in the night
yet also here, in my heart.

Let this mystery be a candle
to guide you through the dark
and our friendship be a flame
to warm you with its light.

  1. thank you Don

    now each day
    i hear that thunderous voice
    speak clearly
    and show the way of oneness

    and when I look at you
    i see my own reflected brightness
    streaming from your eyes
    radiant face of me shines back from you
