Our Wish for You:
On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders
And you stumble,
May the clay of the earth dance to balance you.
And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window,
And the ghost of loss gets into you,
May a flock of colors, indigo, red, green, and azure blue
Come to waken in you a meadow of delight.
When the canvas frays in the coracle of thought,
And a stain of ocean blackens beneath you,
May there come across the waters a path of yellow moonlight
To bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours.
May the clarity of light be yours.
May the fluency of the ocean be yours.
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you,
An invisible cloak to shield your life.
