Soused in respite,
in the lingering merit
of your presence.
A euphoric interlude—
before the bind
of strife; vanguard of the mind.
Firmament incarnadine,
my eyes aligns
to the display of contact,
to messages.
A standstill to my peril—
a call to lull.

A longing for elision,
rid division,
I’ll fight the gales
blown out from the lungs of God,
I’ll traverse lands
forged by His hands,
to come to you, 
and I know, I know it's true—
that our bond knows no yonder.
I see our minds,
gravitas of uttered words,
the sentience in records.

You stem the flows—
the militia of shadows,
who has cowered,
fleeting at the sight of you.
I'm basked in light,
in the glory you incite.
Prune the snagging thorns,
refuge adorns,
loyalty has been woven
into a wreath.
You will never walk alone
for faith has sown.

You quell the acrimony,
stand tall and free—
a poet's muse,
a wanderer's wonderland,
more dear than gold,
clot to the cold.
As we both trek life’s long road,
recall this ode,
recall the verse,
in your days of weal or woe.
I only long
We'll both hold strong.

 I only long We'll both hold strong
