The Few

So few have penetrated my wall 
So few will be there til I die 
So few will build a fortress around my heart 
So few sing the song of my life 
The music I dance to 

Some bring sexy
Some mystery 
Make me think
Awaken my identify 
A map when I'm lost 
A drink when I'm thirsty 
Shelter from the cold and darkness

I say prayers to the ones that came before 
The heroes silent in their wisdom and comfort 
Rejoice in all the emotional gifts they have showered this wandering soul 
To the days to come remaining by my side 

To the generals and the sage guides 
To the knowledge seekers 
To the wishes upon a star under the awe of a strange sky 

To the few 
The friends thick as blood 
Savory as wine
A toast to you 
The very few 
Forever in this life 
My mind, body and soul rest upon you
