Witness

Here is the witness
I know who I am
I wish it were simple
It’s not meant to be

There’s work to be done
And reason to know
Why white is not black
Nor doves like the crow

Yet why do I reason
When reason alone
Brings not but coldness
For words can’t condone

This is the power
Of light unto life
The power of friends
To end my own strife

So thank you Hibebe
My dear patient friend
You guide me to paths
I will walk till the end

Oh thank you Oh thank you
Oh thank you indeed
Through candle or mirror
You have fought back my need

This is my witness
It comes from on high
That I have an angel
An thousand leagues nigh
