A style which embraces continuity
As though somewhere in the world
There is someone who can be relied upon
To maintain a pathway
To provide a certainty
To be the sure cell of support
Such as the you, such as the other I

Daughter
My daughter
Your daughters
The children of the world
How we love you
How we found you
How we manage
To stay together
Or stay apart
To be there
For one another
To help each other
With a smile
With a gesture
With the love of life

I too have waited
For the sunlight
To enter my window
Many days elapse
Between one set of words
And the next
Many thoughts
Committed
To other sheets of paper
Some even cast out
Into the ether
In search of their stars

On the cinema screen
Could I
Would I
Should I
Grow so large, physically
How might my body
Care for
Such a substantial presence
Which helps me to remain grounded
