Youth

All alone in the garden

reaching for the light shining so bright

a star upon the field of night

embrace me

as I lay upon this rock

holding hands with the past

dreaming of a future yet so far away

take me

to your everlasting bossum

that I may perch upon the heavens

as an eternal child shining anew

release me

from mortal choices

beads of sweat dripping from an ancient brow

into the river canyon of many years

onward to the plains of Eden

Heal me
