Ah, Heather

 


You shine so bright in me,

and have, since I first met you.
Is it fair to say
your wisdom walks beside me,
that this measured calm
which holds inside it
great infinitudes of hope
is indication
of your continued presence here?

You who taught me more of love
than I had ever known  -
I'm still needing to learn this practice.
Can I say that you are with me?
Can I say that what I'm learning
is something that we share?
If you will be my partner in this quest,
I'm sure we'll scale huge mountains.
I'll be going forward anyway,
but it sure is sweet to think that maybe
you are helping me along the way.
