IF NOT YOU

IF NOT YOU

If not you
I would have gone astray
Beyond the mesh of unforgettable
Thrilling in the darkness called light

If not you
Perchance , myriad of impossibilities
Could have engulfed me beneath like a flood
Leaving me hopelessly without succour

If not you
Having been and seen
The tranquil of the sun in the moon
Abridging the gaps of the night for the day yet calm

If not you
Who was and is and ever shall be
The teacher and master of principles and relevance
Which nature makes obeisance

If not you
The grave like a hungry lion
Could have swallowed me up in ignorance
Unequivocally assumed by hardhearted happenstances.
