As I Gather In

tonight I shall
gather in my thoughts
gather in my love
gather in my lot

I shall gather in my soul
take control
and like a crystal bowl
shall hold all
and shine

as I gather in
all memories
all lost histories
and long kept stories
I shall gather in to trust
without fuss
all I must

for this is my foundation
as I am part of a creation
No, I did not ask for this existence
but Revel in its Insistence
that I am here,
for the here and now
and in that somehow
I shall leave a mark
before I park it
all away

I shall gather in

should just one look back
from the beyond
and know I was on
this earth

should just one look back
when I am gone
and judge me
worthy of my birth

perhaps they too
shall gather me in

yes, I have sinned
and I have repented
and unrelenting
I forgive

for I could not live
in stricter course
for the remorse
would do me in

please do not think me absurd
if I seem a little unsure
for I am not, no, not really;
I just think that to not forgive
would not fit me, really…
as I am more live and let live…

so as I gather in my thoughts
over what was wrought
in the past years and century
know that I share now
my gifts somehow
and that I wish you, surely,

to gather in
the love of you
to carry you through
this life

do gather in
all that you are
because you too
were born under a star

and it is what you do
and how it’s done
that will brighten your days
under the morning sun

so gather it in
and make it fine
and know that you
are in these thoughts of mine.
