"safari"

Always there
soft shoulder to cry on
glassy eyes sympathetic
understanding me

I wish I could see
as you see
a fuzzy imagination
playfuly lazing about
with the other lions
antelopes all around
Innocent and young
with vision so clear
and when I talk to you
I once again see through your eyes
to the hidden things
we grow out of

You watch me sleep
keeping dreams away
keeping age away
keeping my eyes clear
of the obstructions
of life
For as long as
I can talk to you
Believe in you
Know you are as alive as I
I can still see—

Thank you Safari
