HIDE & SEEK – A WAYFARERS GUIDE

 

Here, I can catch you

Broken in the pit of a bottomless place

Where even loneliness loses its floor

And dreams disappear in darkness

Winding away the strings

That the music of your life has used.

Betrayed, in silence

That allows all music of gods

and fathers of form

and mothers of care

and babies that hear

the cry in the night

through the one alone.

That fall-back, familiar core

Where words bereft of meaning

Vanish like stars going out,

Behind even eyes of seeing

Where finest sense of sensing

Waits through winds of sand

behind all we believed is love.

Here, between wisps of feeling

when thought implodes

and familiar is undressed

to strangeness,

I catch you Here,

A universe waiting to unfold

through all we need to be

and we are no longer afraid.
