" No more turning away from the weak and the weary.
No more turning away from the coldness inside.
Just a world that we all must share.
It's not enough just to stand and stare.
Is it only a dream that there will be no more turning away. "
- David Gilmore

In the gloomy north, on a bleak crag,
a lone, white cedar stands in the snow
and has fallen sweetly asleep in the frosty mist,
and the blizzard lulls its sleep.
..........
It dreams all the time of a young palm
which, in the East distant regions,
beneath a burning sky, on a scorched hill,
stands and blossoms, alone.
