My Body Aches

My body aches, like never before
As I listen to the soul once more
Was I born, a foolish man
There is hope you’ll understand

Understanding that my heart’s content
There were times that I relent
Silent echoes cloud my mind
Was I burdened beside the hands of time!

Sheltered be my thoughts this day
Covering clouds are swept away
As I await the break of day
Will my heart, be carried away

Sheltered are the seeds, I’ve sown
Burdened in this world alone

Twilight dwindles in the night
Bound am I in pure delight
Once I was restless fade to brown
Fallen footsteps, marked on hallowed ground
