Longing Poem by David Andre' Klopper

I just want to live and be free,
I just want to cry and be me,
I want to overcome,
I want to be one,
Feel the grace that lights your face,  
And touch the hand that sets me free,

I run from heaven to hell,
When I hear that ringing bell,
Those who hear the sound,
Know the devil's ship has run aground!

See the sun's rays at last light,
Feel the tremor of life at twilight,
The moon's shimmer in the dark of night,
The stillness of the air at midnight,
The promise of life in daylight!

Breathe in the light of life's dream,
As you reach out to me,
A spark of life gleams,
In the well of infinity,

So when all is done,
When the pain has gone,
We've all returned to where we belong,
Then you will know, my love is strong!
