Upon rising from the ashes of his slumber,Shivering away a mornings chill,Lithe legs valiantly attempt a lumberOver a beleaguered and coarse hill.

Eternity sighs upon the alpine mantle, Eyes that struggle to comprehend,Dusky, whispering hues that dangle,Tears, laughter, this ancient heart to mend.

Century bloom of innocent turning,Rich fields of clouds that bolster ,Dreams that dream my constant yearning,Simple beauty, soft and pure.

Song of girl wakes the world,Be kind! boy pleads with God and sky,As rare as a rainbow pearl,Shooting star smiles and waves goodbye.

A journey spoken, feet to earth,His thoughts run faster than morning light,A love sown to soul from birth --Love, he calls, come and take flight.
