when i am alone in the dark a good companion says may i stand beside you and hold your hand while we travel thought the dark
a good companion is one that says i am willing to share the dark with with you ,
about a good companion holds your hand while you feel the edges of the darkness until you find some thing to hold on to familiar to hold onto
a good companion walks with you to the edge of the cliff and sits beside you while you dangle your leg over the edge but never wavers in their attention or loosens their grip
the good companion does not cut you with the shape edges of sunbeams by flinging them around in an effort to remove the darkness
a good companion asks are you willing to accompany me into the light?
i my not want to go but i may be willing.
or not

is some of the most lovely and apt poetry I've read in a long time. That whole piece is a favorite of mine. I wish I had written a comment when I first read and thought it, but I felt a blog comment a significantly inadequate response to poetry so obviously from the heart of the matter.
I'll try to be better about writing something, even when there seems to be nothing left to say, just to let you know I'm out here and you are having an effect.
