I climbed all the way
to the iron bridge that day
and then up the old
gravel road
at the top of the hill
the chapel stood still
not a soul was in sight
but my own
burdened with sorrow
I carried my load
so I asked for the gods
to explain
there in the silence
I heard a reply
to all of my questions
and wondering why
they sent me a breeze
as I fell to my knees
that whispered
a lullaby
I felt the glimmer
of angels
they said I was safe
from the storm
just stay in the lee
of the chapel
forever protected
from harm
then a quiet voice
gave me the key
it said you are safe
with me
