sometimes i forget

i want to introduce you
to my friend, Spirit
you might know him too
he’s been my friend
for years and years

he’s with me
wherever I go
the valleys
the mountains
everywhere in between

but sometimes
i forget
sometimes
i ignore him
sometimes
i don’t confide in him

i forget

his wisdom
his sound advice
his perfect solutions

sometimes

i feel like an outcast
i run around the playground
searching

i forget

i forget
to look
i forget
my need
i forget

HIS love

then
i cry out
and
he reminds me

my friend
my constant
companion

Spirit
