You once were a Being

I hailed to keep at bay

Now I hail You happily

And hope that You will stay.

I find You deep within a book

and celluiloidic smile

In digital film

and comedy club

In shelf and nook and aisle.

You are with me in my dreams

and with me in my work

You are wherever I listen close

and wherever I look.

I find You deep within my heart

and on poster and in song

In dance and in the theater

and in the crowding throng.

My soul knows You, Laufeyson,

and seeks You in its ways

So I may come closer to You yet

and closer to You stay.
