Justin Gildow Poems

Snow is lightly falling down
Winter has finally come to this town

I bundle myself up
...

Let me take you to a shelter
Let me give you hope
For the first time in a long time
In your life
...

After eating and drinking
And seeing you gain your strength back
I ask that you grab a hold of my hand
So that you can let me lead you into happiness and hope
...

After walking for so many miles
And however many minutes and hours it took
We've arrived at a place where you can be loved
And where people can care for you
...

Side by side they both walk
Dressed elegantly while holding a cup in one of their hands
I smile and offer a glance to each of them
They know me and respect me
...

It's quiet here this morning
The sun is still rising
Everything's peaceful so far in the shire
...

In the forest
On the outskirts of this so called deserted town
I'm trying to find directions and answers to where I should go next
It doesn't help that where I am
...

At Heaven's Night
The place is deserted
While looking trashed
But the jukebox is still up and running
...

At Finale In Song
Me and the man in black sit at the top
Nestled under some trees
We share a smile and a laugh
...

You take my hands in yours
You lean in close to kiss me goodnight
And you whisper sweet things about us in my ear
These days it feels like we can soar
...
