Word of a Poet

Word of a Poet

Stand tall on a mountaintop
Reach up and touch the sky
See the man on the moon
Meet him eye to eye
Feel the air, cold inside
Brings new life into me
Enlighten my senses, new life in my heart
With every breath I breathe
Blanket of stars, cover me
Light the dark so I can see
Lord above light my way
Protect me I pray to thee

Mountain of hope, water so cold
Fortress for my soul
Show me the answers right here and now
For the questions I should have known
Like a rose unfolding it’s beauty
White blanket covers the truth
Deep in my heart is where you will find
True feelings once again new
Poets’ words, written in blood
So easily misunderstood
With quill in hand and scroll that’s bare
I question myself, is my heart really fair?

Walls of red surround me
Walls of comfort through which none can see
Hold me dear
Hold me near
