Can you see me from your distant presence?
I feel irrelevant
as you navigate your own way
through self-directed courses
under the vast sky
courageous, determined
In my mind I always believed myself to be
your faithful watchtower
Leading you safely from Life's perils into my secure surround
I ask, do you still trust me?
Restless,
I attempt to re-capture you with a glaring intensity
I anticipate, hoping you'd
notice
But you don't respond.
I feel sunken, an eerie darkness, as you steer away  
Your sights toward the moonlit horizon
And now it seems
we're
oceans apart.
Hopeless, I'm left standing
Alone
like a lighthouse.
