Aidan Clevinger Poems

I hear it all from other people,
They swear to me it's true.
But as much as I like hearing it from them,
I need to hear it from you.
...

You tell me that you have to go,
You've got to make a fresh start.
Well, my friend, don't you worry,
For in the depths of my heart:
...

The cooling breeze, the blackened sky,
Desert stars shining bright.
On any other day we'd be sleeping,
Yet here we sit tonight.
...

My dear I don't have money
For gifts and presents to buy.
And I'm not too good at talking
(You know, you've seen me try)
...

Celestial music, softly playing,
Seems to swirl about my head.
And I cry to Thee while praying,
'I'm alive though I was dead! '
...

You dream tonight of your fancy clothes,
Your future fame,
But you don't know,
Tonight I am dreaming too.
...

It's night.
Outside the stars beam
Like caution lights.
With heavy heart I fall on my knees,
...

Here, where thoughts and men are quiet,
Nothing is as it seems.
The world outside screams in riot,
But here is the soft sound of dreams.
...

I understand the importance of theological discussions, but I'm saddened by the hatred that so often goes into them.

These wars of ideology,
Shall be our untimely death.
...

There are countless ways people show love,
Some make you laugh, some make you cry.
But everyone knows that when God shows love,
He sends an angel from on high.
...
