High On The Mountain

Dance with me in the shadows of my soul
Play the game high on the mountain
where the sun dips below
and night comes
seeping in as a shawl of diamonds
on the shoulders of the weary

Sleep in my forgiveness
Listen with my Open ear
Let your words take a rest
on the earth
under that tree
over there

You cry on this paper
as you know the One has written
a message
on the back of your heart:
Come home.
Come home, my dear...come home.
PS - I will wait for you on the porch
in the sun
smiling
waiting
to take you in my arms
