Listening to every heart

0 posted 2001-03-16 03:29 PM


I know I can come
lay it all out here
spread low my wings
leave all loose my fear

I know I can take a breath
put all quivering aside
but what if there should be death
from which no one can hide

Will you give me strength
or will I walk great lengths
in the dark of day, seeking for the light
only wanting of one thing, to set all to right

I know I can come
lay it all out here
spread low my wings
leave all loose my fear

Straight from the heart. Thanks for sharing!

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

Pefect!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Very well put. We all rely on this place, I believe.

This was a very personal poem, and very well done.

Just one thing though,

should the line- "leave all loose my fear"
be read "leave all, loose my fear."?

It seemed clearer in meaning with the comma there. But maybe you were meaning something else. Just thought I'd ask.

Stephen.
