Within this lair I find myself <br />Within the depths of my despair <br />And yet this life seems a little unfair <br /> <br />Unyielding faith that lies in wait <br />How is it now that I hesitate <br />Snowflakes fall from yielding skies <br />Like the teardrops falling from my eyes <br /> <br />My mortal legacy the written word <br />By which I read and what I’ve heard <br />Glimpses of what I felt within this realm <br />Overwhelmed by what I’ve said and done <br />Beneath the light of yon golden sun <br /> <br />For here I stand, kind-hearted one <br />Beneath the shadow of this thumb <br />Applauding none that have stood before <br />Where now the echoes of a lions roar <br />As the ship set sail for distant shores<br /><br />Darryn John Murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/snowflakes-fall-from-yielding-skies/
