You who were with me before I was born,dark shining on dark,
be with me now.
You who will stay with me after I die,
light traveling on light,
be with me now.
You who are nameless
in the marketplace of ten thousand things,
how shall I call you?
You who are invisible between the stars,
how shall I see you?
You who nurture me with silent wisdom,
speak to me now.
I am listening beyond the sounds of night,
I am looking beyond the sights of the day.
You who fill the infinite void,
travel small on my shoulder now,
show me the way.

So beautiful and from the heart.
Cate, thank you for sharing.
It speaks - deep in the heart and soul - to this One Woman.
A beautiful atmospheric shot and a beautiful poem... just lovely!
What a beautiful piece! It soothes and brings welcomed comfort to this anxious heart.
