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.

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
Don, well-warmed always. Thank you.
New Year blessings, Don. Thank you for this poem of love and light – beautiful!
Looking for you with trust in my heart……
Thank You Don. A Blessed and prosperous new year to you.
