Jan 2019
Stark hills and deep valleys
Career past as the road
Wends it's way from
Coast to coast

Anger announced
Loud and shrill
Left behind
On the auburn hills

The road winds on
Stop for scone
And coffee cup
But don't look back, look up

Onward onward
Halfway there
A painful memory
Leave it lying there

Among the broom,
The heather and the pines
Now you're free to see
What new joy your life defines

Purity, love, sobriety
Welcome them in
To your new society
Sordidness and pain
Are things left there
High up in the hills
Melting in the mountain rain

The strength within
Will shine all through
The darkest days ahead of you
Be strong, have faith
You are where only
Growth and love take place
