A crow
black's darkest hue,
jet wings aflame with night,
obsidian and ebony,
lit, here.

Ups and downs of loving
we all do surely know
but friendships shared
have, too, a gentle
ebb and flow
When you are down,
above with spirits high
someone may well be seen
but also beneath can be found
a friend with their deep sigh
Spirits rise, spirits fall
as day to day we go
Just look around
we are always here
of this our lives do show
Shoulder-to-shoulder
footsteps help track time
sharing laughs and tears
some walk with us, both
under clouds and in sunshine.
In any direction is
a friend to reach, no doubt
Remember, then, when spirits flag
to give, grab life and hope
Just stretch your hand out.
