Hold your head up high,
Keep your eyes on the banner,
Look! Oh how it waves!
Forever green, yet golden,
May it be ever rising.
Hold your head up high,
Keep your eyes on the banner,
Look! Oh how it waves!
Forever green, yet golden,
May it be ever rising.
What odd sensations
My tongue feels false in my mouth
Metallic, slug-like
Fingers and toes feel blunted
As if stubbed repeatedly
Out every window
The message rings loud and clear,
“Alone together,”
My eyes go watercolor,
The view is still beautiful.
Tonight, star gazing!
Hoping for a shooting star
To catch my wishes
I feel young! And I feel old…
As my eyes wane with the moon.
Can you imagine
If we had experienced
This global crisis
Just ten years ago today?
Keep strong my friends and prevail!
“I had a good day!”
Dare I tempt Lady Luck’s gaze?
And promote today,
From mere ‘goodness’ into something-
More grand? Perhaps even great?
I see you, my friends
Driven back but not away
Let your prayers rise
With mist that is your namesake
May Snoqualmie never dry
Let my candle burn
The brightest flame it can be
Against darkest night
I wish to shine like a star
Reflecting in deep blue hues
It amazes me
How the enemy within
Can regain purchase
Reworking to introduce
Doubt despite you history
Facing challenges
Day in and day out can be
Exhausting at times
But a retrospective view
Can be a sweeter reward
