The Traveler

A traveler dwelling among refreshing springs The busied day was drawing a close Evening dishes clamored loudly to sing Outside my door a whipping wind blows Working to rest a goodnight rest Again I hear that whipping wind that blows But wait that's a knocking at my nest Unexpected to my surprise flows Looking through I could barely see Somewhat a human figure stature tall Towel in hand wondering who this hour be Might as well take a peek at the call Opening the door caught aback shorn His feet were dirty and his sandals worn His feet were dirty and his sandals worn I know its late to call please help me Living alone in had been forlorned If I let you in promise and agree No harm will be done at your hands His stance changed stepping through my open door I'm searching for a home in this land Nervous I became and paced the floor I really didn't invite him to sit Gently he passed me by for the chair May I speak to you upon your permit At first all I had was a stone glare But a rush of peace suddenly swings His garment had no pockets yet clings His garment had no pockets yet clings I haven't much but I'll give you Come here and sit while I bake some things Where is your family questions were few The silence I gave him was so strong Excuse me miss but I must now go Knowing opportunity forever gone Wait as my heart best fast but quite low Holding back tears please stay I'm so sorry Stopping dead center in front of me spoke If you will allow me to tell you glory While he yet spoke of my family I broke He prayed to God the Father and mourned His complexion slightly darkened born His complexion slightly darkened born We sat at the table and ate our share I watched him eat and curiously adorned Pondering how do I help him get there The meal prepared for a traveler be I didn't come here for meat and bread alone In a rage I screamed you spoke agreed That voice His voice demons be gone Heavy are not my hands to pain anymore How can I touch you so you may go free My jaw clenched tighter than ever afore My skin literally crawled set upon edge This is me no demons now only tears Thick deep Brown wavy locks at the ears Thick deep Brown wavy locks at the ears Little child give me all you have this moment My eyes still in a blasting firey tears Traveler you don't know what close it I made a promise to you and agreed I can take all of your sorrow and pain Step toward you To plant a seed Bruised and marred that's wrongly ingrained Friend it's not your fault but don't lay blame I charged him and struck at his solid breast Pounding and pounding beating his frame Growing tired of fighting with my guest I slumped into a shattered place Unshaven small and high bones of face Unshaven and small high bones of face Traveler I don't know who you are for me I may never know the right way of Grace But all I've ever wanted kindness seen It makes me angry and yet longs for touch Traveler why was I punished beyond my control Why is it that God says I love much He loves much he sent me on patrol What I've done for you can't he undone I offer it to you go on it's free The tears now subsided nowhere to run Sitting beside me in his arms He sees Leaning my head against his breast dear Eyes of deep blue never before appeared Eyes of deep blue never before appeared In his arms I ask Jesus please don't leave Upon my forehead he made it clear Now a small seed is planted to cleave As I share the rest of my wounded heart He listens to every detail of my life With my ear just right I can feel beat We stand to our feet As before my plight Two hearts are now one and end to new As I saw him do I look to God I'm so sorry God for blaming you Maybe there is hope in you for God I'm sorry God that I've learned mad haste Stature of medium height natural grace
