Come Back…

I used to frolic and bask,
In the light of your embrace.
Now I cringe in your shadow,
No one can stop this course,
Not now…
I needed no shelter from
Society's mighty glaciers.
Your love hath warmed my limbs.
I needed no wine to drown my sorrow in.
Your firm shoulder
Outstood all.
I needed no food or drink to sustain me.
Your kind words were what drove me on.
I needed no maps to trail blaze.
Your eyes were my northern star…
Stay, my bright comet.
Circle back to me.
Light my darkened sky,
And give me a path to follow.
