Never Alone

Forty times over

And multiplied by ten

I can vehemently deny

That you are here

But,  I am here

And so, you must be, too

You are not as I thought

For that was a reflection

Of my own weakness

And believing as I was told

But when I let go

Of all that I thought you were

And my illusions of who I thought I was

The truth of it

Is that we are all

Part of the same

Beautiful song

And that song

Is called life

And that is where I find you

Inside of me

And in my connection with others

I thought you were gone

And my beliefs, gone with you

But you are so much

BIGGER

Than my belief could hold

And so I need to hold all of humanity

In my heart

And only then did I find you again

You were never gone

It was only my limited view

That had lost sight for a time
