The Lighthouse Keeper
I was lost and knew it
Where are you now,
Nothing worth learning
The journey of life is but
Inside me there is a voice,

my destination
always finding
the wrong path
Then one day we met
the keeper and I
and we knew
each other
and we touched
She opened my eyes,
and dropped
pebbles of wisdom
into the pool
of my life.
And slowly
the ripples spread
Someone once said
'It does not matter
what we achieve,
but rather
how we've lived.'.
all I know is,
it should have been she
And when the time came to part
yes, we were sad
but we knew
not to grieve
For,
in all this time
And,
in all times to come
We're never apart
my brothers in battle?

and of need.
Incessant it speaks of
possible futures - do this,
do that - not here, there.
I cover my ears with my pillow
but on and on it pushes
never slowing, never halting.
The sad thing is,
it never lies
