Meeting with you is always so pleasant
I love being reunited again
How wonderful it is to feel you
In me, once more
I thought you had been upset
By my late silly ramblings
You know how the ways of life
Can make me forget
And wander far remote
From your loving gaze
And embrace.
So I thank you
For your faithful presence
I will trust your ways
Dear friend
Trust that you are never far away
And make the effort
To come to you
And hug you dearly
Every day
After all
What best friend do I have
Other than
Your very being
Your so solid shoulder
And sweet tender heart
I will trust your ways
Dear friend
And know that behind
All that is fragile in me
Inconsistent and fearful
Just here, hidden
Mingled with my clouds
Dancing with my being
You stand firm and generous
Supporting everything
Giving your substance
To what is happening
I will trust your ways
Dear friend
And not be an obstacle
To you – the sun
Making a shadow
Of your presence
But let you be the one
That governs my world
Let the light that you are
Fill my body to the brim
And spill over to be like
A perfume
Investing every corner of my being
I will trust your ways
Dear friend
And let you be
Just be
Here
Now
Not interfering
And when you have taken over
I will be showing
My way
For it is you
Not me
That stands behind it
