Apache Tear

I laid an Apache Tear down in the forest

Inside an inukshuk I built under a tree

Like a little shelter for you to rest

In this place I call The Sanctuary

Throughout the mountain, this place is unique

With its cedar trees and tumbling rocks

Protected by the sharp winds from the peak

And speckled with evergreen moss

Heavy tears roll down my cheeks

As I recall how we had said

We would come here when we’d meet

And run together once again

It is hard to let you go

But your soul needs to roam

Of all the places that I know

This one’s the best to be your home

I laid an Apache Tear

With my eyes welled up again

But I know I will be back here

Filled with thoughts of you, my friend.
