The Graveyard of My Mind

I walked the graveyard of my mind last night, I saw many people sleeping tight, I saw the ones that made me smile, I saw the ones, who were part of my biggest trials, I saw the failures of my past, I saw the sorrow of a childhood gone to fast, I saw the liars, who stole from me, I saw the heathens, who would never be free, I saw the chameleons trying to blend in with the bareness And vulnerability of winter trees, I saw all those who listened Yet silenced my innocent pleas, But then I saw amazing grace, Shimmering under a mercy tree, I realized that all of those stones Had made me what I was called to be, Each plot was responsible for a certain quality in me, Allowing me to be able to identify With others drastically, I saw the days of evil tightly bolted down, I saw clarity, which was once lost Now completely found, I saw the pages turn As the past had been burned, I saw God's presence filling up Every area where I yearned, I saw a radiant light pointing far ahead, Directing me out of my mind Resurrecting all that was dead, I saw those doors to that cemetery close tight, As I continued towards what was bright, I felt an unusual grin, Overwhelm me from within I saw an extraordinary flower, Come forth with might and power.
