A dear friend is battling a life-threatening illness…and these words have come out….I suppose the sentiment applies in similar measure to any other good friend facing lifes challenges…
—————–
Break of dawn…world still…enfolding arms…upon a hill…
See it rise…to the sky…earthy ills…to defy…
‘Tis a joy…to always see…upon the blue…rising green…
Rising up…magic made…from the sun…giving shade…
Out afar…I will sigh…sending warm wishes nigh…
In my thoughts…In my dreams…whispers in…forest stream…
Noble bear…’neath a sky…sable star…pennons fly…
Calming words…honor true…and my heart…out t o you…
Battles come…battles go…you will win…this I know…
Tears of hope…times of pain…yet I know…is not in vain…
Long has tree…shaded hill…and I know…it always will…
But for now…let it be…blessed hill…protecting tree…
Far above…morning wind…come to me…sing again…
Always in….the waking mind…always there in dreaming time…
If you need…send me word…by the wind…or song of bird…
This is sworn…hear me say…no storm can ever…keep me away…
Breaking dawn…world still…warming arms…upon the hill…
See him rise…to the sky…earthly ills…well defied…
Feel the joy…come and see…upon the blue…rising green…
Long has tree…shaded hill…and I pray…it ever will
