Straits and Narrows

(for R)

by T.P. Wilkinson / August 8th, 2021

Following the Light

Tightly held the moment
sheltered from the night
Ways not walked alone
following the light
Where those steps
do lead unknown
Where fantasy
proceeds is shown
only once the journey ends
only blessed by what love mends.
