The World Inside My Heart

Can you see the sky inside my heart? My nightly sky, with stars so bright Each star aloft, within my sky, shines for you Do you see the ocean inside my heart? It’s mighty sway, those crashing waves The breaking tide, coming in and out, does this for you Take a look at the forest inside my heart The blowing breeze, the majestic trees The whistling wind, blowing through the leaves, sings songs for you Have you seen the mountains inside my heart? Those snow capped peaks, the strength it keeps They stand there tall, fearless and steady, immovable for you Come and see the river inside my heart Its winding course, its raging force Cutting through the ground, this water so wild, runs for you Let me show you the desert inside my heart The dry parched earth, a land so hurt This desperate place, in need of water, thirsts for you Will you look at the meadow inside my heart? The birds fly pass, the green soft grass This sheltered place, of solace and beauty, remains for you Can you picture this world inside my heart? The joy it brings, so filled with things This world exists, and turns each day, because of you Written in Texas -2011
