A Poem from the The Heartbeat of One Drum Collection
Came A Voice - Viewed 395 Times
David Devaney
Website
August 09, 2007
I’ve known of gold and frankincense
But neither now possess
Pursued them both for countless years
My heart they’d not caress
I fought the battle endlessly
With money as a goal
Then felt the anguish and the tears
The price my very soul
Exacting tariffs on myself
Depleting energy
I never found the strength within
To set my spirit free
Yet from the darkness came a voice
Familiar, full with hope
Allowing me to recognize
That I must better cope
With life and all its challenges
Just being who I choose
Each step much greater than the last
In wars I will not lose
