Through the Night Mother Earth, I beseech thee, Grant me rest a while, For my journey has been tiring And I grow weaker by the mile. Let me lie in a field of clover, Soft, cool greenness under my head, With the soft, velvet blackness of midnight sky An eternal blanket for this bed. Send a gentle rainfall To soothe my aching soul, Wrap me in the scent of roses, Once more, make my tattered heart whole. Bring a gentle zephyr Softly whispering through the trees To sing its song of beauty And lull me into deepest sleep. Hold me in your loving arms, Mother, As I sleep through the night, So that I may regain strength to resume my journey At the break of dawn's soft golden light. Terry Woodson ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |
