David Harris Poems

Today I heard a song
that whispered through the trees
and was shouted by the breeze.
It was an enchanting song
...

Our brow is stained with sadness
and we begin to wonder
did we leap before we looked
when love gave us the call.
...

With every happy heart,
there is a broken one
in need of repair somewhere.
One that holds only sorrow
...

You hide away
from prying eyes
as your life goes around
in ever decreasing circles.
...

Today my Lord I come to you
and within your eyes I hope to find
what all mankind seeks
that of peace of mind.
...

The tarnished leaves of autumn
leave the trees lying bare.
Like skeletons reaching out
pointing skyward stare.
...

I’ve walked near waves
where fishermen have cast their nets.
I’ve walked through thorns
that have cut and scratched.
...

Not a day goes by
without me thinking of you,
I turn around to have a word,
then remember your not there.
...

There is a young woman,
who lives so far away from me;
if she lived closer,
I could give her a big hug.
...

Every night I pray to God
for him my soul to keep,
that he will bathe me with his light
and wisdom every night.
...
