Let my spirit
soar
Up to the top of the trees
Free, free, this is me
Spirit of a Tree

I
Could See This made my April day.
Tiptoeing
in the grass so green,
I wrap my arms around a tree
When the branches and leaves of a tree
blow ever so gently in a breeze
It gives me calmness and peace
to know that I can feel free
I can feel the waving leaves
gently calming and beckon to me
Wrapping it's eternal spirit
around me like a warm soft jacket
I feel so much more alert
to the sweet feelings of comfort
Oh gentle dancing wind
make the branches sway and bend
And let the sunshine so bright,
bring me out of the night
Twinkling, blowing little leaves;
God's hand coming down to protect me
Soaring like an eagle in the azure sky
Floating through wispy clouds
A flicker of light catches my keen eye
Cutting the wind with a cry so loud
Something curious to the eagles mind
Swooping in low to investigate
After seconds or minutes of time
The claw grabs and manipulates
Take it back up to the sky
Massive wings cutting the air
Up to the cliff I must fly
Under the skies so fair
I searched for knowledge
And conquered and won
Upon the majestic cliff's ledge
Flickering metal in the sun
Thank you for being my teacher
For helping me breakdown my walls
that kept my emotions trapped
You taught me that I can love again
Thank you for being my healer
And for the energy your spirit gives me
To fight the demons deep inside of me
And put my mind at rest and peace
Thank you for being my lover
And holding me ever so close to your heart
Cuddling up with me at night
Showing me how much you care for me
Thank you for being my friend
And sharing yourself with me
I haven't had a friend like you in a long time
So please don't let our friendship end
Thank you for touching my heart in a way
I haven't felt in a long time
Can you find it in your heart
To let me back in?
When you
touch me it feels so right.
I look into your beautiful eyes
The warmth of their glow melt me
All I want is to be yours to see
Let me feel the warmth of your body
Ever so close to my heart
I want you to take me in your arms
And hold me like I belong to you
I want you to share every dream
And fantasies you've never told
Let me be a special part of them
So we can share secret memories.
Take me and we will fly away
To a private place just for us
Somewhere deep within our dreams
That no one else can touch
back to the top
