Encircle me
Enfold me
Entrance me
With Thy peace
That I may pray
and love Thee well.
Encircle me
Embolden me
Enhance me
With Thy power
That I may ever
do Thy will.
~ Celtic Prayer
One leaf left on a branch
and not a sound of sadness
or despair. One leaf left
on a branch and no unhappiness.
One leaf left all by itself
in the air and it does not speak
of loneliness or death.
One leaf and it spends itself
in swaying mildly in the breeze.
