I had forgotten how much I loved you my old friend. I had forgotten how much You had brought me to, The edge of a cascading waterfalls, Or a mountain peak, Or a babbling brook, Or a lightly scented pine woods, Or a wild flower meadow, Or a well worn forest trail, Or crashing ocean waves, Or a towering fortress of rock, Or the vastness of the universe, Or the beauty of a sunset, Or the tranquility of solitude. You truly are, The depth of all creation! For without you, There would be no expression Of things that are without words. Like inner beauty, Or Strength. Of deep compassion, Or infinate wisdom. The depth of which, Simply could not, Speak with our souls. C.G.S.
