Keith O.J. Hunt Poet Rhyme

Lamb

I saw my mortality shaking in the wind.....

   I heard my soul walking softly with the Lord,

   no violent word could be heard between us;

As lambs we walked 'neath the gentle arbors,

   through fields of grasses green

   by streams dreaming starry cheers;

What could bring grim hope lives no more this eve,

   though the rain pours against the levy....

   and the wind hisses as ghosts steady....

As a lamb I walked with the Lord, 

   with starry-cheers,

   and dreaming stream,

   'neath gentle arbors,

   and grasses green,

I heard my soul walking....

Robert Lindley January 10, 2015 at 10:52 PM This is easily a true gem my friend. I see perfection from start to finish and " I heard my soul walking" reminds me of the anguish in many a nights fright where dark shadows came to play.. Only appeals to the Light sent them away.. A super 7 and added to my fav list and thanks!! Keith O.J. Hunt January 12, 2015 at 9:07 PM Glad you enjoyed Robert! Keith :-)
