Friendship

DesertWords

Sit with me awhile

Speak of happy things

Smile away the darkness

Soften my sadness with the

sheer delight of your presence.

 

Let us dine on the sweet bread of life

I will toast the days gone by, moments of

mystery and majesty.  You, the hope that

tomorrow will be gentle, each day the revealing

of a new dimension of the pilgrim self.

 

Tell me stories of your journeys, the streets you

walked, mountains conquered, tell me of love that

filled your world with lilac and rose, of dreams that

never came true.  I will listen with my heart and find blessing

in the feast of conversation.  Then when the candle burns low,

I will close my eyes in the final sleep

and set my course for a distant star.

 

Sit with me awhile

Speak of happy things

Smile away the darkness

Send me on my way with a

quiet gesture of peace.
