You Made Me Very Happy

As he lay withdrawn and somber 
I gaze in fear, I cannot suppress.

Knowing not where his shattered stream will flow
mid wings of ancestral trees; 
ripples near heaven's reach.

Oh, my love I don't want to leave your arms.
Shadow hovers abreast dressed in a shroud 
without absence of compassion or grace
reaching the stretch above unbroken cloud.

Moments of sorrow
in rage trampled fear and grave.
I will endeavor.
I feel your warmth beside me
you made me very happy.
