A pilgrim’s creed, such as it is

I believe
truth lies behind the layers
of images burned through
seared into your mind

I believe
connections cannot be severed
that a continuum exists
leading toward a place
where light enters and then
flows between us all

I believe
you will find comfort
in comfort a wellspring of joy
and in meeting we’ll all find
understanding
fear will lift away
as fog burns off to clear the sky
for morning to come through

I believe
in holding on past the ghosts
trying so damned hard to keep you
locked away from life and glory
joy in all its colors
grab on because you reached out
I’ll bring you on into today

I believe
in both
in all
in something stronger than fear
stronger than rage
stronger than tired nights
strung between streetlamps

I believe
in having it all
come on home
meet your unknown companion
through me
you’ll see
all that it can be
