And I screamed
At God when
Is it my
Turn when do
I get everything
That You promised
He quietly replied
Selflessness is everything
That I promised
Selfishness brings about
Plagues and fire
And destruction and
Famine and lewdness
Greed and gluttony
Whereas selflessness brings
Comfort and peace
Truth and courage
Humility and clarity
Would you rather
Be the one
That ignites the
Fire or the
One that can
Put it out
If this is
Goodbye then please
Understand that I
Wish you nothing
But the best
Because I do
Believe you deserve
At least that
Much I pray
That you find
Comfort and happiness
Peace and love
And at some
Point in the
Future whether near
Or far just
Know that I’m
Always here right
Where you left
Me as friends
And like dressing
For yet another
Hike I layer
Myself preparing to
Be both naked
When truth and
Disappointment appears from
Behind the clouds
Of suspicion and
Protected when the
Icy winds and
Sleet of compromise
Pelt me on
My way up
The mountains of
Uncertainty but my
Favorite is prairie
When I’m alone
With only myself
T-shirt and shorts
And I sent
You a bear
To remind you
That we are
Together even when
We are not
Cuddles he’s called
Cuddles he gives
We keep meeting
Under the lamplight
Always a lamplight
Sometimes near and
Sometimes far but
Always always there
As though these
Silly lamplights bring
Us together like
Moths dancing about
Each other but
Never ever landing
As though this
Dance that we
Do around this
Inconspicuous lamplight in
Some far off
Borough is what
Brings us together
A smoke and
A laugh a
Hello and touch
And with each
Passing lamplight and
With each passing
Time we remain
Just two moths
Around a lamplight
