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....

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!!
