Never Lost Never Found

[Guest guest]

Never Lost Never Found

With the setting sun

came your presence,

and you spoke the words sending me back

to my land of the dead;

Love was not to be found.

I solidly knew

(yet foolishly ignored)

the most important thing we shared-

our morals and values.

Hopes, wishes, and dreams

are for youthful souls

and I am old and tired.

When your voice departed,

my only companion

became a sleepless night,

and I became a child

afraid of the dark.

I sit here now

drowning in coffee,

and I remember the words

once spoken

by my drunken friend

who vowed that when he died,

he would find the hands of fate

and spend eternity

breaking their fingers.

....I no longer laugh

and pray for his success.

But all in all

I am relieved,

for all of the mysteries

of who you are

and who you are meant to be

are now clearly shown.

You are a dream

to those awake.

You are a spark of light

to all hollow shadows

you will pass on the street.

You are a compass,

showing others the way

to help them find who they are.

You are the highest teaching

of my religion;

Dharmakaya-

Form and emptiness

one in the same.

Hard to grasp,

yet proven true.

You are an Angel

or ghost

who touched my world,

and with this,

is carved into stone...

" You are a friend

to never be lost

and a love

to never be found " .
