Long ago they
Gathered
Here

Coming together from
Far and
Near

Building bonds with
Those held
Dear

Stoking resolve
And calming
Fears

The beauty of the valley
In which to
Peer

The sun to see
The sounds to
Hear

To laugh in joy
To mourn in
Tears

Long ago they
Gathered
Here

Sketched by Hand with care and love

Wispy, fluffy, or black and mean
Vaporous artistry is seen

Quick, before there’s time to think
It morphs again in but a wink
