599. Life

You never came for me,

So I came for myself.

I wandered for years in search of me,

I took on the quest begrudgingly,

Because no one else would.

On Earth, we merely cope,

And do our best, despite;

Yet, though it may seem a tired old trope,

I have learned that where there’s hope, there’s life,

And where there’s life, there’s hope.

598. Companion

I truly don’t know what to say,

And even less, what to do,

For here on Earth there are some things,

Which can not be worked through.

I truly wish I knew the way,

So I could give you a clue;

Yet, that would merely be false hope…

I won’t do that to you.

All I can say is bide your time,

Pray and live each day anew,

For there’s not more to say than this:

I am here with you too.
