the signs of maturity within us say:
o dear heart, the friend will come again tomorrow
the friend lays beside, though he may rest elsewhere;
the friend knows you by your eye
the friend loves you more than you can know,
in dimension after dimension untold
~
look with a different eye
and you will see him holding you together from within
look with a different eye
that you may know him even after he departs forever from sight
~
o my love:
you are my footing, my keystone,
my place of rest,
my pilgrimage, my refuge, my harbour,
my nest.
