Friends on our Journey
Side by side adventures
We embark upon each day
New challenges and pathways
You ascend the mountain
I traverse the vale
and all the while
We share support and care
Partners, cohorts, buddies

Companions on the journey
He was always on time
for his life…
Every delay, every stumble
Every time he fell
into the abyss —
He was always
perfectly on time…
Arced high above their heads
like a rainbow bridge of hope and joy
The aura of their love
vibrated the air with
the strong energy
of their friendship and commitment…
The wheel goes round and round
simply ever spinning
Yet where it touches with friction
the outside world
It causes the cart
to move along the path
On the sun-bleached fencepost
near the gnarled knot
sat the resting red-tail hawk
in her favorite warming spot
Unnoticed by the passing cars
in her silent vigil there
her ruffled feathers beautiful
eyelids muffling her intense stare
——————————————
I salute the wild hawk
and all the flying beings!
