As A Seeker of Light
by Michael Doyle

As a child, I'd stare up into the night
Seeing each star as a unique source of light.
Lying there, I counted each twinkle
As a fabric of time's rich wrinkle.

There were dreams there yet to live,
And wonders waiting for life to give.
The few fears were there to resist.
I was caught in the wonders that exist.

You and I would talk with ferocity,
Fighting opinions formed by curiosity.
Knowing that in the vastness of existence,
We were bound to meet with some resistance.

As time went on, you realized me as poor,
And you imagined you as something more.
You live in a desert of stars all the time,
And I find myself in a forest of the sublime.

All things being equal, I easily embrace 
Life has brought each of us to our place.
Every star reminds  me of immortality,
And I recall our friendship looking into eternity.
