Sun Through the Palms
G. Cornwall - Lana'i HI, c. 2013
I will stand by you
and fight for us
side by side
Silverback
or Jedi knight
I will hold a light
when your path is dark
to remark:
you can
you have done
you will
We stand
- separate trees -
of matching wood
symbiotic
in that we give
and that we take
We loom not
o'er thoughts and plans
life-giving sun
nor quenching rain
We grow in time
in our peaceful company
stretching to the heavens
our true love
strong and free
-Gillian Cornwall, c. February 2, 2014.
