You are the one who never leaves the one behind,

Who through a simple ‘hello’ opens up the world of ‘are you truly okay?’

And in the hours that I’m cloaked in fear,

Drenched in grief,

Drowning in anguish, it is you who I summon,

The prisoner and the captive,

The light and the dark,

The yes and the no,

The known and the unknown,

It is you,

The One.
