And then yet again
after I was certain
that I’d gone somewhere
else down a different
path and through a
different thicket and past
unfamiliar brambles and a
grove of wispy willowy
trees in a clearing
and overlooking a river
sits the same dark
wooden bench ebony I
think and very strong
I sat to rest
and felt comfortable there
supported protected and warm
and while I knew
that I was somewhere
new this particular bench
continued to appear and
I knew then that
wherever I go you
my friend will be
always with me too
