A Song Of Blessing

i am suddenly reminded
as the clouds spill down the mountain
that there's more to life
than just the strife to keep myself alive

while the binds of higher learning
steal the fire from my yearning
this desire to keep going
comes from somewhere deep inside

apart from my sense of logic
i feel there's something more to see
just around the next bend
just beyond my memory

and before my weeping eyes
i see what's given me a reason
is nothing more than a simple thought
that befriends, believes, becomes me

and so i wish for you to see me
in my new-found living memory
so that i might tell you too
of the thought that gave me freedom
gave me life, gave me more
than this world ever could find

and ever do i wish for you
i weep for you
i hope for you
i think of you

to meet me where the clouds roll down
and thoughts and trees and friends are one
to dance among my memories
and forever sing my soul to thee
