Speckled stars shimmering, shining above <br />Scattered like salt grains on an onyx stone <br />Prior thoughts about future, hope and love <br />Fade in the stillness of being alone <br /> <br />Shooting stars and wishes made in the night <br />Prayers to the Creator of that night sky <br />With sounds of my heart racing at your sight <br />Mix within, thanking Him for 'you and I' <br /> <br />The moment won't last, time ticks quickly by <br />Suddenly I know this memory, now <br />Is one I will remember 'til I die <br />And this weight begins to rest on my brow <br /> <br />Forgive me for not knowing what to do <br />God knows I just want to be good to you <br /> <br />Oh, this picturesque celestial scene <br />How it gives strength, as it teases and taunts, <br />To pursue unwise avenues in hopes to gleen <br />One touch, one fraction of what my soul wants <br /> <br />A sudden but gentle let down is had <br />My mind pumps forth memories from my past <br />And I'm left afraid that it's all gone bad <br />Fearful that what seems so good just won't last <br /> <br /> How I miss the days, not too long ago <br />When confidence was standard; hope was free <br />That is what you deserve, this much I know <br />Dear, I'm so blessed that you're patient with me <br /> <br />Forgive me for not knowing what to do <br />God knows I just want to be good to you <br /> <br />((August 2nd,2010))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-knows-7/
