Uplifting

I was reminded today of my friend, Torry. I haven't spoken to him for a while, unfortunately. He can create the most beautiful poetry right on the spot.

Here is a particularly moving poem he wrote for me. If you know enjough about me, you can pick up on the little things throughout the poem that point out my life. The awareness of who I am is touching - talking of my pain, but that I hold tight to God through it all.


"Fair-hair dreams in the western mounts
quiet chill of evening descended
moments hushed and hours stilled
tattered thoughts to be mended

Fair-hair rests her weary head
sun-kissed cheeks aglow
night birds singing in the dark
wondering where to go

Fair-hair smiles to the ebon sky
for through the pain and drear
she keeps her God in her bosom nigh
and she will know no fear"
