Standing naked at the altar <br />Only wearing the shawl of dream <br />Bewitched by the scene <br />He calls out for the almighty <br />And asks for God's divine clothing. <br />He says, Lord, I have been naked from within <br />Just wearing a tattered spirit and empty dreams <br />He says, Lord; dress me with your elegance and <br />Sew my dream with brilliant ray of light. Lord! <br />He says, don my spirit with the tread of beauty and <br />Lord; weave my nature forever with love. <br /> <br />First Published 1999 @Poetry.com <br />© 2009 Emu Getachew<br /><br />Emu Getachew<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tattered-spirit/
