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.
