For all the friends-

So thankful now for all the friends
who down the tangled skein of years
walked with me on those unpaved ways
with no signs at all to point an end
to all our wildsouled wanderings
along leaflittered paths seldom trod
and stony steeps unmarked at all
by any passing feet, even our own,
through shadowglens, sunbright fields,
carrying no weight of expectations
except that each step brought us closer
to new wonders waiting to amaze.
