Make each moment sing

Make each moment sing and leave me here for another measure.

Let the wind trip the leaves and send fear scattering from 'midst these swollen branches.

Make each moment sing and fly away soaring into another dawn.

Swim the depth of waters or hide me in the swelling tide.

Make each moment sing and bring me near for I'm far away

far from home and roaming alone along some distant highway.

Make each moment sing and let the days fly with joyful wings of birds or angels.

Cut me clear and open my ears that I might hear each moment sung to me.

I've never tried, no. However, a friend of mine did make this into a song, unfortunately I don't have a copy of it. Also unfortunately, I don't play any instrument myself and seeing as I've only ever been interested in playing the drums I doubt that would help me much in making this into a song of my own.

kasey, this is a great poem! you said this is as close as you get to writing lyrically, but this almost sounded like a song. have you ever tried songwriting?

Thought I'd throw a little change up after the my last post. This one is pretty straight forward as to it's meaning. The funny thing is it came from a very dark period of my life, but as I was in the midst of writing some other stuff I took a step back and thought, "you know, I'd really like to write something as a praise to God". This is probably the closest I come to writing lyrically.
