as felt



walking silently this earth
an on-going breath since birth
learning life a step at a time
in the wind echoes a chime
eyes closed wide open staring
one edge to another daring
all will suffer in pain
sorrow of tears gathering from rain
puddles deepening like the sea
depths that should be let be
tomorrow holding different than today
different ways you may say
always having a little doubt
hearing voices inside make you shout
closed eyes, ears & mouth
best hearts found in the south
winds blowing from east to west
putting everyone to the test
a great star in the north
soon colors falling on the 4th
independence for our freedom
bringing closer to his Kingdom
for all we have he gave
in hope others we help save
loving us with his arms stretched
in the mind an image sketched
his blood like a waterfall
flowing downhill his call
forgive them Father
for they know not what they do...
