The fear I feel stirs curiosity in my soul,
For you are the ever towering light.
My eyes only see in your presence.
When your flame burns out,
I become one with the darkness.
Your return is only but blinding
And your touch is golden
So I walk out to you blindly

A place of acceptance without judgement
A warm embrace in the midst of a storm
A stranger's radiant smile with wet eyes
A touch of skin by the frail and old
A place beyond life and death
A place of stillness and nothing
Like the ocean
Like the night sky
A dark room in the middle of the night

A brush of my paint
A splash of yours
The rainbow is good
And the ocean is better
Together we are indifferent
The poised and quiet

An oath before God and men
To never judge at all times
To love them all the same
And still I find myself
On your flank
