Gone but still

Funny how life takes you to places
Where people write upon your soul
They show you themselves in colours so true
Then stamp their feet like toddlers out of control


*In valleys so deep I found my heart
He stood there arms wide open
He had been waiting such a long time
And yet never faltered in his understanding
I so love him for that

Lover of the night and sleeper of the day
Hawks fly better when chased by eagles I've heard  
Fear cripples the soul
Fear encompasses all that we are
Leaving us bare

Beauty of all
Thankfulness of all
greatness is created at the feet of masters long past
And yet as poets we glow
We grow
We understand and we carry our souls with pride
