August 31, 1997


I know you're here,
Somewhere in this darkness.
A kindred soul I met,
Passing with the barest of touches,
Lilting upon the strains of music
I know so well.

I know you're there,
Waiting in the past.
A kindred soul I know,
Lost within the sunset gardens,
Lonely and forlorn by light,
Raindrops evermore.

I know you're sad,
I understand,
For I know sadness, too.
And when you know
You need a friend
Here's one who's friends with you.

-To Loan in times of darkness
