Notes About The Poem
Written on September 30, 2025
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Long Shadows
My memories haunt the wind, my blessings blowing
From the still silence to the gentlest sigh,
Beautiful as the music who restores my soul, glowing
Softly against the night, a friend and why? Oh, why?
Moments turn to years in the blink of an eye
And I still feel the silent wind, reminding my soul
Wherever I go, wherever I’ve been, I look to the sky
And see the beauty of His grace – He’s making me whole
My life is passing by, so quickly, like a star’s quiet twinkle
And I let it all pass by, so deep into the music, the pulse
Slowly I turn to the right, then around to see the wrinkle
Time has left me in the past, while on a gentle nudge, an impulse…
Reveals the music of God’s truth, His breath a quiet hope
Pouring through me in rhythms of light, softly playing
It is His love that tells me I have all I need, I can cope
Because He is – the light, the life, the Maker – all I’m saying
Is life is as it should be, I was once a child and now I see
From my youth He was with me, all the strength I’d ever need
Reassuring me that, with Him, I will always be free
And I believe, He is the way and I’ll go wherever He might lead
