You are with me, always.

In the quiet of the dark night, in the giggle of the sun rising, the sprinkle of sunshine dancing across the morning pines, the struggle and irony of each day. I should have known goodbye is nothing we believed in, that what I feel which gives me strength, that which empowers me, is always a lot more like You loving on me. Me loving and admiring You. Inspiration and this open highway of brotherly love, Life and Love don’t live in the rear view mirror. Hammer down.

You ride shotgun and the music is always good. We built a Cathedral in our hearts and time and time again we entered with our heads bowed but our hearts were always open. I hear Your smooth voice with a melody that moves me down this Road of Truth. I don’t go looking for You anymore like a child searching for simple answers. All I have to do is whisper your name in my heart and there You are, always.

I tossed aside the baggage and boxes full of things of no use. I loaded up all I need for today, making room for New Life, Real Love and stringing my guitar for this New Song. I didn’t even notice until I was finished, I can’t see out the rear view mirror. That would be a totally new form of awesome ’cause I’m not looking that way. I did it long enough to realize I can’t see what I need now, staring at Yesterday.

It’s funny how I’ve missed You and this whole time all I had to do was turn up the music and roll down my Soul Windows. Not like they were closed, like learning to love me has brought You back to life. Breaking a sweat and feeling good, laughing with a friend, smiling because I can’t help it, being adored and adoring right back, Loving for Real, finding Life, born again…. and as always, right there You are. You are so digging this.

I would say “I’m sorry” but that would be silly. I don’t like regret. Neither do You. Nothing like Inspiration and this Open Highway of Brotherly Love.

for Glenn. RIP
