a poem from a friend

Like all good poets, my friend Scott Neely listens with exquisite care.  With gratitude for how closely he has listened to me in over a decade of friendship, I share the gift of this poem that he shared with me and my family.

‎"Fear not"

--A Cristobal y su sagrada familia

Fear not,

into the marrow

of earth

each day reaches

sun

and moon

each night.

Gold and silver light

into the dark,

friend,

from which

we rise, shine,

fight.
