Mutual Mentality of the Heart

When you walk behind me
it's as if you expect me to lead

and that's too much for you to expect.

When you walk ahead of me
it would appear  that you're superior

and that too, is too much for you to expect.

But, should you tarry next to me
we will be as equals,

partners in this thing called life;

and we will compliment each other
by our absence of shadowed motives,

and together we can survive whatever comes our way.

When you lean on me
I will stable your posture

if you help carry my weight, I'll make it brief

Let our journey begin
and let it display to all

the harmony that is ours from within.

We share both, a delightful strut
and a comfortable stride

and our gate is metered by mutual respect;

and somehow that comforts me
and I feel close to you

and I cherish the grace of your intentions, and the purity of you.
