I know this
Life is swings 
and roundabouts
May you have
Someone you can
Walkabout with
Yarning at night
Treating you right
Depend upon
In any way
Every day

Know them
One to another
By the feathers
We wear
With love

When tears feel like
They're always falling
Remember how heavy rains
Bring life to full bloom

Softest rain pours
In sheets of white
Covering cleansing
Soaking in delight

Raise a toast
Majestic friends
Beautiful strangers
At land's end

Float freely
Sail your course
Sending care 
Light, flags, morse

How to tell
Land loving one
Radio silence 
Air waves none

Hand me nothing
On silver platters
Cosy toes friends
Nothing else matters

Sometime a certain
Happenstance lingers
Peels off layers
Slips through fingers

Dignity to watch
Unravelling reveal
More willing heart
A moment to steal

My darling, my dear
Do you see what just appeared 
You would love the very sight of this
If only you were here

Beautiful, lovely one
How nice this time of year
I'm staring out the window
Waiting for the sky to clear

Wonderful, my only love
The fire burns bright here
I've stocked us up for winter
Our warmth, food and beer

Sweet thing, come near
There's not much else to do
But sit and sing a song
And walk a mile or two with you

Every word hangs heavy in the air
Each a dew drop from pure source
Wind blown in from afar
Whispering on the water
Trickling down the shore
Breeze holds back waves
Always moving forward
Air and sea and shore
All holding on
To one another
Through the storm

How lovely when
You bend my will
And I yours
Hold us still
Space that separates
Grows smaller
But no less
Beautiful
One can only 
Hold the weight 
Of one's own
But once we meet
Shelter surrounds
Us all
We grow into
The in between
