Halfway between heaven and hell
I met my friend and companion on the way
She was my mother
She was my sister
He was my father
He was my brother
We were all things to each other
Yet there was no need to fulfil
Just open road
Divining shells, a dousing rod
A hymn book and love songs
To use for our magic
But the spells we spun
The blessings on the road
The love in our hearts
The GOD in everything and everyone
Made the missing quotient
Not so necessary
Only not there
My friend held my hand
We laughed at the illusion
And appreciated the reality of each other’s hand
And we didn’t let go…
Ha! I am proud to report,
We didn’t let go!
