Ballad
You are clarity, you are joy
You are light, I am the lightness
You are my doorway, as I pass into the world of being
Friend, mentor, teacher, guide
Inspiration, aspiration, unachievable ambition
But as you merge with me…I stand at the doorway, holding you within me, you are also the one
I can’t see your face or feel your form
But you define existance for me
Wherever you go, whence you point
I will follow, mesmerised
You walk on, always holding out the light
Creating the universe for me to discover as I follow you
And I must run to keep up with the shifting reality that is moving with you
Because the minute you stop….too long
I will step out and away from you
And begone into the world of blinding light but no lightness
Lost to us both

Step out, and away
Drift up, and afar
Fade out, go astray
Yet the light remains
A black hole for lightness
Have a good year, Smithy..

@ Ranjan: We were never apart. The dogs = other distractions like reality.
