Stay with me
when the world betrays yet again
and still demands you follow its lead.
Stay with me
when North and South are no longer true directions
and East and West have plunged into nothingness.
Stay with me
when hope dissolves into despair
at the knife-edge of awareness.
Stay with me
when your dreams are too distant to be seen
and your nightmares moan beneath your bed.
Stay with me
because poor as we are
life turns into love and love into wealth.
Stay with me
because the shy angel of star-gardens
greets us as the guardian of rose gardens.
Stay with me
because of the summons of blue sky in yellow light
and the intense red of each dawn and every sunset.
