Through the thinning veil

Keep
Hold
Stand

In the heart of the Keep
Hold close those that you love
Stand firm with those
Unable to stand alone.

Keep
Hold
Stand

Keep the connection from the past
Holding hands we bring
Each other into this moment;
As you stand with us
We stand with you.

Keep
Hold
Stand

Keep the fire bright
Hold the bell sound
in your heart
Stand tall for all
is within you.

Keep
Hold
Stand

Keep to the calm
Be the center of the henge
Hold fast to
the wisdom of the stones
Stand. For you are sacred

Keep
Hold
Stand

Keep to the journey
You hold the infinite
in you hand.
Stand fast, behold
the coming change.

Keep
Hold
Stand

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom. Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that. FYI Be in joy, in all ways! ~william
