In the darkest moments
Of the loneliest nights,
When my little boat
Was seemingly lost,
The stars in the sky
Gave me company,
As they shone
Endlessly,
And so too,
The crescent
Of the nascent moon.

On the dreariest
Of days,
When I wilted under,
The scorching gaze
Born of outrage,
Wondering if I would
Be torched in the blaze,
The gentle summer breeze,
Blew in from nowhere,
To soothe,
As best as it could.

In all of life’s twists,
And many turns,
If there is one friend,
Who always persists
In showing up,
And staying through,
As no human
Ever could,
It is you –
You have been,
And always will be,
All around me,
And deep within too;
You gracefully assume,
The form and shape
That best suits,
The storm I face,
To come and stand
Beside me,
Not speaking,
And yet yes,
Through just being,
Through mere presence –
Every moment,
And always.
