I Live Inside My Poems

Silence fills up with my prayers

My bones are lead, but I'm barely there

Words just keep my spirit hid

The breath of God, that's all there is

Many footsteps till I rest

As each one falls, I know I'm blessed

I'd be a fool to walk alone

So I live inside my poems

Ups and downs play like the waves

An inkwell night, a golden day

And after winters, summers rise

To summarize, I'm not surprised

That there are times I'm feeling low

But even then, I know I know

I'd be a fool to walk alone

So I live inside my poems

Nightfall always comes to land

The Moon just laughs at all our plans

An ancient truth outgrew

The maps we drew

And in the darkness

We're open-hearted

And we can let the next thing through...

And so I'm called back by my dreams

I won't live life through silver screens

Inner worlds just can't be taken

As deep as oceans, the Earth is quaking

With the changing of our souls

This aching new, it feels so old

I'd be a fool to walk alone

So I live inside my poems
