Dreams, witches on broomsticks circle the locus,--
August,
What a strange season!
Imprisoned
I wonder alone, thinking out loud.
A hound,
I’m lost in the maze of your lanes and your alleys,
You valleys,
Your lowlands, your buildings, your gates.
Your traits,
Like the lines on one’s palm predict for tomorrow
Just sorrow.
How happy I am that you are still with me!
You need me
As much as I need to be in your presence,
This essence,
This closeness and love is what makes you eternal,
Internal,
And living! September is calling. I’m leaving,
Believing
That when I return I’ll find, as always,
Your hallways
Which lead to the mazes of lanes and alleys,
And valleys,
And lowlands, and buildings and gates,--
Your traits.

This really spoke to me. It's beautifully written!

And living! September is calling. I’m leaving,
Believing
That when I return I’ll find, as always,
Your hallways
Which lead to the mazes of lanes and alleys,
And valleys,
And lowlands, and buildings and gates,--
Your traits.

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD
