Heart of Wonder

I have run through the valley
I have stormed the shore
Dug my fingers in fields of fortune
But never found what I’m looking for
The wind it winds through skies of plunder
Followed the signs for the heart of wonder
I have held holy close to my heart
Cursed my bended knees
Quoted many knowing minds
Lines I’ve read but I’ve yet to believe
Words they numb this pain and hunger
But nothing cures my heart of wonder
What moves in the long limbed grasses?
What shadows the spirit catches
What will be waiting when we’re gone?
I have heard Heaven’s marching song
Sung it word for word
Chased the blood of angel tongue s
Strained my lungs just to be heard
Still I hear it in the distant thunder
Just out of reach for the heart of wonder
Heart of wonder
