Danny Speicher Poems

To you who are hurt and crying at night
May your desire be to be healed
May your heart be safe, and like wax, be sealed
And may your blindness, once again be sight
...

Prize beyond this present uphill battle
Shields crash together and sabers rattle
Pain and loneliness present on this field
For, in the end, alone, your blade, you wield
...

He who spoke the world into creation
He was born but a little child
...

Oh, God the winds of change, they are blowing
Bringing a revolution to this life
Whether relief or challenge, not knowing
Always of benefit, even in strife
...

God, I feel it again... uncertainty
That cauderizing dagger to my heart
The burning, hot steel of anger and fear
Brutal... tearing my soul slowly apart
...

The fog lifts beyond the hazed horizon
Morning illuminates the darkest night
And the fears I have now begin to fade
My faith returns that things will be alright
...

My dear, if I had one wish in my life
Just one to last me the rest of my days
I wouldn't wish for my days without strife
Nor for the moon's soft beams or sun's bright rays
...

Where do I roam when I roam when nobody knows
What dream haunts me to find an invisible prize
To seek to see that which can be seen with closed eyes
Where do I go to when my feet go where my mind goes
...

I suppose my thoughts were always naieve
Believing that when you found that someone
That life would be happy and filled with fun
And, that feeling would remain when she'd leave
...

Once… Then once more, I thought I knew true love
Twice I gave my heart, twice I felt true pain
Thoughts, dark and dreary, twice have filled my brain
Now I wait life to be all I dreamt of
...
