I Shall For Ever Be With You Poem by Mohabeer Beeharry

He said once
Wherever you are, call me.
Whatever you are doing
Remember me!

Wherever you go,
Take me with you!

When it storms,
I shall be your shelter.
In your loneliness
I shall be your invisible friend.
Your guide.

You may not see me,
But at night I shall be the stars
That light your path;
I shall be the gentle moonlight
That smoothes your restlessness.

At daybreak I shall be the sunshine
That eases strength into your failing heart.

When your health fails
I shall be the hands that gently stroke your cheeks,
And the friend who whispers into your ears,
I am here, nearer to you
Than the world that is slipping away.

I am near you, always,
Open your heart,
Take me in,
For how long will you deny me?
I want nothing from you.

I am waiting to give, friend.
My hands are full of gifts, are you strong enough take them?
Seek from me the fulfilment of all your dreams.

Open then the gate of your heart,
And tell me, come in,
Come in.
Come and dine with you!

Through the doors of infinity
Have I called you.
I am the birds that wake you up
And the sea that lulls you!

I am the ancient hills and the mountains,
The woodlands and the flowers,
That breathe songs ofeternal liberation
But you hear not!

Swayed by the tantalising and marauding senses
Your eyes see me not,
Nor your heart
Nor mind.

I have been here, near you
Now
Yesterday
And will be tomorrow!

See me friend,
Recognise me,
Accept me!

Then even if you are let down by the world
I shall for ever benear,
By your side,
Ever
And for ever again!
