Danny Speicher Poems

I grasp at air to find the words to say
I plunder my heart to find emotion
To aptly describe my life's devotion
To a God who makes complete each new day
...

“The harvest is plenty, workers are few”
And He said, “Come and follow me”
...

I see a snapshot and I read the words
Hear the voice speak at the end of the line
Longing for just a little more face time
Wishing I could fly freely like the birds
...

Speckled stars shimmering, shining above
Scattered like salt grains on an onyx stone
Prior thoughts about future, hope and love
Fade in the stillness of being alone
...

To the girl who does make my world go 'round
To her who can make my hopes rise and fall
To she who walks with me, so I stand tall
And calms my weary soul without a sound
...

Shackled in bondage and fearing more pain
Not believing freedom would come again
Remembering not to tread where I've been
Hate clothed in love left a permanent stain
...

I look on you, I see beauty defined
I hear your laugh and my heart is set free
I can't fathom what first brought you to me
I surely don't deserve someone so kind
...

A million questions swirl about my head
Wondering, pondering implications
If my heart will give my mind vacation
Or, this time, will logic prevail instead?
...

Cars speed by, below the city skyline
People walk by and yet they cannot see
The hopes and the dreams waking inside me
As I work and I strive to make them mine
...

Years alone, by myself, have left me cold
Left me broken, bitter and getting old
I used to wonder if my heart could love
And attain the closeness that I dreamed of
...
