Stay With Me...

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.
