Iona, my child, these words may seem so wild,
if you lend an ear maybe something you hear will stay
with you
forever
and a day.

If you feel the ceiling sway,
just remember this,
you have brothers and sisters who long
to hear
your laughter resound.

There's adventure all around.
If you find a track, you needn't follow the pack
but go
your own
direction.

Be quick, but slow to raise a stick,
be softly spoken, as promises broken can ring
through time
like bells
with an endless chime.

Take the path down by the western pines
Traveling light, quick step and keep in time
Speak in tongues, remember always rhyme
Climb the redwood lightning-struck and see for miles, Iona

Iona, beware
The bus-ticket millionaire
The penny blacks are fluttering back
to where
they shall
anoint your face
with the morning dew of May...
A nettle sting or an emerald ring
is all
you may
remember.

What I said, is just for breaking bread
or to maybe wake the dearly departed souls,
who pray for you til your dying day...

Trace your name in sand at eventide,
watch the pulsing embers glow like bright familiar eyes...
They will stay forever by your side.
Climb the redwood lightning struck and see for miles...
