THE EARTH IS EATING UP THE SUN,
A NIBBLE AT A TIME,
UPON THE FAR HORIZON
I GLAZE UPON SUBLIME....
THE CLOUDS ARE DARK, FOREBODING,
YET TOUCHED WITH STREAKS OF LIGHT...
RAYS OF HIDDEN SPLENDOUR,
TUCKING IN THE NIGHT..
BIRDS IN LIGHT, ATWITTER.
THE BREEZE, IT KISSES ME.
MY HEART IS ALL AGLITTER
WITH SPARKS OF FEELING FREE.
I FEEL SO FREE AND EASY
AS I STRIDE ON DOWN ON THE ROAD,
GRAVEL 'NEATH MY FOOTSTEPS,
PEACE WITHIN MY SOUL.
I GAZE UPON THE WONDER
OF GOD'S GRET, SPACIOUS SKY.
AND I HEAR THE DISTANT THUNDER
AS LIGHTING FLASHES BY.
I TURN FULL CIRCLE, 'ROUND AND 'ROUND
AT ONCE, I TAKE IN ALL.
ONE FELL SWOOP...A FEASTING.
A MOMENT OF RECALL...
TO BRING TO MIND, ANOTHER DAY,
I'LL TUCK IT.... DEEP INSIDE,
SAFE WITHIN MY SECRET PLACE,
WHERE MEMORIES ABIDE.
