Faraway

Faraway people vouchsafe their words within me
Secret seers with that lost light in their eyes
Unlike yours (and mine) widening in perpetual surprise
While love’s light (passed through you) reflects us truly.


Still I wander and stumble still : a balancer of love
Teetering between fear and striving for those things above
People thinking me wise ask me for advice true
When all love’s wisdom I learn was taught by you.
