As you walk, I am beside you
to steady the gait, calm the fear.
In silent hush, quietly guide you
and catch the waking salted tear.

A passage through the rocky shoals
of sunken dreams and frightful lore.

A journey as a brass bell tolls
upon a distant darkened shore.

The walk shall find a guiding light
beyond the tunnel’s darkened haze.
And from the heart no waiting fright
will cause a fearful tear to raise.

Perilous treks on flowing seas
beneath the main and masted beams.
Where echoes die in calming lees
of babbling brooks and crystal streams.

An outstretched hand shall softly lie
upon the shoulder as those miles
do swiftly pass before the eye
as fears abate and bring forth smiles.

God Speed my friend....

Love the calm surroundings,
and the pilar of strength that you conveyed.

Beautiful writing Barry~

How do you do this?  I am sorry, Barry, but it's true.  The words just flow from your pen with ease of release.  It is so amazing.  I got to keep studying your work.

(big hugggssssssss) Sometimes the paths we lay before us that we share with others just aren't of the same heart, and we can always wish one well when we must go seperate ways as at some junction the two paths could always come across each other to see the progress! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story
