| To Walk Among Trees |
Peter
|
I found myself all alone | 1 |
Your whispers surrounding me | 2 |
Calling out a thought once known | 3 |
Some neglected memory | 4 |
A world I knew as a child | 5 |
Magically untamed and wild | 6 |
Life somehow had overgrown | 7 |
Existence as it should be. | 8 |
| |
With your presence I felt fear | 9 |
Solitude was my denial | 10 |
Something else was very near | 11 |
Unknown to a mind defiled | 12 |
Strength that strengthens in a storm | 13 |
Life that flows from static form | 14 |
Confronting what might appear | 15 |
I let go of heart and guile | 16 |
| |
All around I felt you stir | 17 |
As some dreamlike veil was torn | 18 |
Your love filled me cool and pure | 19 |
cleansing me of all I mourn | 20 |
you sank roots deep in my heart | 21 |
what was stone you broke apart | 22 |
held & healed me without cure | 23 |
for the ail of fallen thorn | 24 |
| |
you gently sent me away | 25 |
knowing this was just the start | 26 |
of a friendship that would stay | 27 |
strong though time and miles apart | 28 |
you breath me peace while at war | 29 |
with all that life has in store | 30 |
you stand guarding day to day | 31 |
as the keeper of my heart | 32 |
| |
Now when life is full of rain | 33 |
Your ghost makes my spirit soar | 34 |
And haunts my heart with its pain | 35 |
on those moonless nights you roar | 36 |
Not fierce but like moving wind | 37 |
Rushing to embrace your friend | 38 |
Gently there you then explain | 39 |
Truths mined deep from sacred ore | 40 |
| |
Your wordless voice brings meaning | 41 |
I could never comprehend | 42 |
I feel as though we’re singing | 43 |
Verseless music that transcends | 44 |
Thought and reason yet more real | 45 |
Than five senses could reveal | 46 |
And if I’m only dreaming | 47 |
Let me do so ‘till the end | 48 |
