Daring to hope with clasped hands
rising up out of the fearful drumming
painted across the hearts of many
walking with yourselves as one
as he has always dreamed it would be
eyes to sky wondering impossible questions
contemplating possibilities beyond the realm
but through all of your love combined
comes a vision pouring into being
remembering all that has been
and could be
some glowing and growing
as he really is
even when some eyes could not see
striving for more
wanting to be
walking forward some times alone
misunderstood by some
seldom free of a true longing
to touch the sky beyond reach
and in this dark and bright time
comes into realization a communion
a connection of long lost friends
forgiving past hurts transcendent
dreaming together of love
as large as he would ever ask
and larger still perhaps
than ever he could have dreamed
as you sit quiet in circles recalling
and talking until speech comes no more
just as it always must be
where only the light of our own souls
can illuminate the darkness of night
and guide us into the present
where regret and lose cannot exist
where he has always lived in our hearts
and always forever will be
