To A Fellow Traveler

[Margaret(Marge) Wetherell Maycoc]

You are not like him

I suspected that

You were just like him

Someone I could trust

A true shining light

Of perpetual "thereness"

I cannot judge you

For being a beast

It's in all of us

You let me down hard

It doesn't mean much

It is my own job

To have the whole world

To believe in peace

The rain will still rain

The mountains still sing

A higher being
Taught me to be free

To let go of things

You are one of them

Go, in peace

I do not need you

That is a good thing

He did teach me that

To not have to need

To let the wind flow

Through your own being

To clear out the old

Making way for the new

For all given times,

Forgiveness is key

To live and let go

He'd bless this, I know

[Dillard Henderson]

This is so right on.
