Mans Heart

 

“Mans Heart”

 

The tree of man continues to grow

His roots, shallow and deep

The sun above him

Shines warm and bright

The ground he walks on

Hardened and barren

The leaves of fall

That of race not color

Scurries with the winds of change

Blown across

The ground

His floor of opinion

Rests in the palm of his hands

 

Looking into gods majestic painted sky

Rain mixed with tears of sorrow

He reaches into his heart

Grasping hold of his soul

Shaking hands with his lord and savor

Asking for forgiveness

Tears mixed with rain

Nourishing barren ground

That which was cynical

Is renewed with Gods living seed

 

Walking the crossroads

God wants him to follow

Flowing with milk and honey

Seeing things differently

Preparing himself

for the gates of heaven
