Yet still I love you…

I’ve travelled the world

I’ve landed in space

Still everywhere I see your face

I’ve admired the birds, flowers and oceans

Drifted in the  rush of flowing streams

Still I find you waiting  in my dreams

You have followed me wherever I have been

You shared in all that I have done, all I have seen

You’ve seen the paradoxes in me and I in you

Yet still…I love you

Shall we…?

What shall we be

if not each other’s keeper

when night becomes the grim-reaper

What shall we do

if we can’t salt the earth

and our flint can’t  fire give  birth

What shall we say

of he who had vision but could not see

she who had time but was never free

What shall we offer

to a child who cries for his  mother

when his hunger fuels hate for another

What will we find

when we peer to  depths of our soul

will it be  a mound or a big gaping hole

What shall I tell you

my dear friend – that your heart is on the mend

if we take hands  and give shoulders to lend

Seize this moment to choose a side

will you stand up or seek a place to hide?
