You Seeking Hope
reach out for my hand
while crossing the stream
understand that
first I’ll listen
and last I’ll speak.
I have come to help you across
help you believe again
my friend, release the sails
into the wind again
my friend. I have
a knapsack full of light.
Look inside
as we walk the rock ledge
of blue slate with fossilized
shells and roots embedded
into the bumpy stone surface
seeking answers
down by the creek
where the warm summer grass grows
tall, and cool blue flowers
around the trunks
of green-leaved trees
and calmness flows
into the channel
of our souls
refreshing mind
and body as one
unified whole
crossing over the threshold
to the dream, wading through the thoughts
of the stream
until we reach the other side
while crossing the stream
understand that
first I’ll listen
and last I’ll speak.
I have come to help you across
help you believe again
my friend, release the sails
into the wind again
my friend. I have
a knapsack full of light.
Look inside
as we walk the rock ledge
of blue slate with fossilized
shells and roots embedded
into the bumpy stone surface
seeking answers
down by the creek
where the warm summer grass grows
tall, and cool blue flowers
around the trunks
of green-leaved trees
and calmness flows
into the channel
of our souls
refreshing mind
and body as one
unified whole
crossing over the threshold
to the dream, wading through the thoughts
of the stream
until we reach the other side
