Worry will conflict the mind, deplete the strength De-veil the cloaks, away the drain of such long length Beyond the walls so honestly to help at hand In summon bring of every kind these gifts to band In sun to see the hidden realm and warm to heal within Nurture in the light of day that fuel to drive again In rain replenish driest spells, incantations, wishing wells Fill the lakes, clear the air, drink deeply as all thirst dispels In wind the power clears away debris left once from yesterday Open wings and face this force, fill again to sails away Clouds to shelter from the burn, a tear or two will overturn Hold so moist above the fire, safely shield this mighty yearn Snow upon the restless heart, cool the fever, sleep the pace Cover now protected seeds to bloom again in spring’s sweet grace Ice to freeze the pain of loss, given up to careful cold Lost in time without pause, dulled and dim when then retold Seas that swell in rhythm wise, deep emotions given rise Spilling to the shores in brake, called again in grand reprise Mountains rise, majestic kings, to guard the land and land the wings A goal to reach, a peak to climb, in echo as the soul now sings And forests stand as sentinel, to dull the wind, in arms stretched out In reverence to catch these prayers where all these troubles here about And take these gifts, and give these ways, a trade as good as gold To keep so well, all harms dispel, the spirits come and each enfold Copyright Kkh 12/10/02 |

They stand to welcome, and to say goodbye. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

 (smiles) Oh Kathleen, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, my heart is too praying for Mother Nature and I hope these prayers are answered and her wild blue yonder protected! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
