Befriending light

My best friend
I've lent you my pen
I've wandered the stars with you
We've journeyed back again

We've shared airwaves
And proved magic was there
We've opened vaults
And laughed at kings
And cried with those who need more

We've knocked at each others hearts
Even waited by the door
And scribed all the while
And learned about the island
Consciousness

All while holding a smile
Through the tough and the wild

My best
Dear friend
I may not be the easiest
To stick by or to contend

But I promise
I'll bring
Something more
To adventure with

For if your joy fills your eyes
And light enters in
It may favor me too
And consider me then.
