Walking alone by the River
My heart sick, a welter
Of strange lights dancing
In the overwhelming gloom
I ask
Oh Guide, be with me…
And there you are again
Old Friend,
Who has been with me
Since I can remember!
In all weathers
Hot, cold, wet, dry, fine,
Disastrous,
You are there,
Closer than close
My most beloved
Faithful and stalwart
Friend
Quiet
Not saying much
Just there
Smiling.
