The Ravens
'Tis the gift to be simple,
(Two distilled music from the afternoon Sun,)
'tis the gift to be free,
(Four listened to Guitar and Harp blending notes that danced)
'tis the gift to come down
(like lit leaves trembling in October breezes)
where we ought to be,
(treetops above us roar and hush in counterpoint)
and when we find ourselves in the place just right,
(the Quaker, the Troubador, the Accordianist and Me)
'twill be in the valley of love and delight.
(My back in green grass and blue sky singing above me)
When true simplicity is gained
(Above us Four Ravens hang motionless in the Breeze)
to bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed,
(Music grant me power my soul likewise to hover)
to turn, turn, will be our delight
(and find my way, lifted in up-rushing joy)
till by turning, turning we come round right.
(wheel on the wind toward Heaven)
Thanks to everyone for a beautiful and memorable weekend.
