I See

In your eyes, i see the strands

that color them wonderful

I see the promise of a new tommorrow

I see days of long walks, holding hands

I see hours of looking into each othes eyes,

and tending to each others needs

There is a way about you, a beauty

I see the mother with in you

I see the good friend

I see an excellence woman

and yet you are still young,

only have you started to be

the woman, i know you will be

You have the most amazing eye’s.

It’s not just the beauty of them

but It’s the wonder, that cause’s me

to think of, what’s in your heart

There’s a strength and a wisdom,

that shines from behind them.

Yes, there is a strength in them,

One that i haven’t seen for a very long time

When I'm lost for words, i look towards you

and they seem to rush through me,

like the touch from an old friend

I wonder what kind of spirit do you have?

Does your soul long to be touch with,

little soft kisses, like mine?

Is your heart open, to all that know you?

Is there promise, in your eyes?

Will every fear i ever had,

just melt into peace,

when you hold me in your arms?

Hope

by

Clint Rowlett

Love is the hope we can always count on. Hope is the love we can always share. And when we have faith, we can share the love and hope that lives in us.How can we have faith with out love and hope. Or how can we have hope without the love for the faith of someone. All these work together for all good. These three gifts are what's in our spirits. When we learn to trust these three gifts, then we learn more of our Father. This is what true straight is, love, hope and faith. The love that's in you for others. The hope that you will do the right thing when the time comes. And my friend, faith.

Faith that we will still have love and hope when we don’t do the right things. With love, hope and faith, we will always have mercy. And when the mercy comes, is when you will truly understand the love. Then you know of the hope that's to come. And when we share all these gifts with other’s, we find the glory. This is the glory of our spirits. This is the glory that our Father gives to us, to give to others. All ways remember that love, understanding, forgiveness and comfort is the way of our Father. When you understand all these things, this is when you know God has open the eye’s of your heart. The eye’s of your heart is the sight of your spirit.

I Walk In

by

Clint Rowlett

I walk in beauty, I live in your love

My heart, has never been as open,

as it is with you.

I look in to your eye’s and see the depths of your love

I touch your hand and feel the depths your spirit

I walk in hope, I live with the wonder

I belivie in you, in the way you’ve touch me

My faith, is with you. My prays are for you.

I pray for your gladness. I pray for your blessing

I am in love with you

Has there allways been this place in my heart,

that only you can touch

This place that God has made for you, in my heart

How can i tell you how i feel

This, that’ so deep in side of me, this love i have for you

Awaken

by

Clint Rowlett

She calls to me, like a mother that calls to her lost child. I hear her voice in the wind calling, come child, we wait for your touch. We long for you to walk upon our lands. To look into our heavens. To drink of, our waters. Come my son, we await you. Come and let our mountains hold you, hold you like our very own child. We are in need you. We trust you. We wait to feel you upon our path’s. To feel your hands play in our waters. We want to feel your spirit walk across our delta’s. We need your spirit to touch our’s. We want your spirit to touch the spirit’s of our people. Come son, come home to us. You are our lost child. We long to look into your eye’s. We long to feel your touch. Come home son, come home to Alaska.

Come and let our sun sets fill you. Come and let our nights, cover you. Come and let us feel of your soul. Child, let our stars be your stars. Let our heavens be over you. Our morning sun, will be your sun. The wildness that lives in you, is ours. Let the grace that falls upon you, fall upon us also. Let this love that lives in you, live in us also.

I’ve awaken to this call. This call to my soul, that's sings to my heart. My spirit longs to be with yours. I am a part of you. I am your brother, your friend. I want to hold you while we sit beside still waters. I want the heavens to fall upon us while we look into each others eye’s. I have a need to see the glory of your land. I want to see the lights of the night, dance in your eye’s. My heart is with you, but my soul longs for the touch of a friend.

Will the winds of this world carry me to this place my soul longs to be. I want to be swept up in the love of your land. I want to believe, i want to believe in your shadow. I want to believe in your light. I want both to fall upon my face. I want to feel your evenings and your mornings. These days of life, that calls me to the depth’s of your nights. I feel like a motherless child. I need to be held in your valleys. I need to be loved on your mountains.

Just A Man

by

Clint Rowlett

With just the slightest touch, i felt her whole presents about me. She had a way about her that anyone that knew her, could never forget. The way she would look into my soul. I couldn’t tell her a lie. Yes I’m a man, a man in every way. But when i was in her arm’s, i was more than just a man. I’ve never known a woman like her. Maybe, I've just never been in love before. She has this hold over me, one that pulls from the deepest parts of my heart. Some how she’s a part of me. Somewhere inside of me she lives in a way I've never even heard of before.

What is this? Where will all this lead me? Is this my beginning or is this my end? What does it matter. I couldn’t turn away from this love i feel. I’m the biggest kind of fool that ever lived? Never in my life, have i been a fool. Yes, I've been hurt before, but never have i lost so much inside. There’s nothing here. No, that isn’t true. I still love my family. And i still care for others. But the want of another woman has left me. When i look into another's woman eyes, i see nothing, i feel nothing. It’s the same as before i met her, they hold my hands, there kisses are the same. But there hands aren’t hers. When they touch my face, it’s just a touch. My spirit feels nothing. There hands softly touch my skin, there kisses wet my lips. But there souls never touch me the way hers did. They give there body’s to me but keep the most inner part of there spirits from me. To touch is just not enough now. I have to feel more than there hands or there body's. I have a need to feel there souls.

How can i seek someone's heart when i have no heart of my own? But this want that lives with in me, who will ever know of what i feel. Is there any one out there that can touch my soul again? Should i stop trying to find that again? Should i give up of love? Can i walk away from this that is still so deep inside of me? I must, i can’t. I’m lost to my heart. My mind has left me. This must be what a real fool feels like. But i am, who i am. I try my best to forget and at the same time i pray that i remember every minute i had with her. This endless, emptiness that’s my life now, has turn in a way that hurts. But the joy of her still lives here. So i live the joy while i live the pain. The glory of her love still falls on me when i sleep. And when i wake from the dreams of her, I'm lifted in a way there are no words for me to tell you of how i feel.

If this is true love, if this is my spirit, then while am i so lost. She is gone but she is here. In this place that she owns, my soul. How wrong could this be? To be so lonely for her like this. What would i give to hold her again. To wake from the dream and to be able to touch her face. To hold her face in my hands and tell her good morning. Just to see the look of love in her eye’s again. To this day i still don’t understand just what happen. Yes, I'm just a man. But a man that has no sight to light my way back to her heart.

Wish

by

Clint Rowlett

Some one ask me today, what i would wish, for the ones i love. With all the pain and joy we must have in this life, I will not wish for what they may have, but only wish what they may not. For all the ones that have known and loved me, I wish that you never have to lose a child. That you never have to lose someone you love so very much. That when you wake in the morning, and they are not there, that this emtlyness never finds you. I wish that you never know what it’s like to not have God in your lifes. But most of all, i wish that you never know of the hate of this world. With all the pain and all the joy we must live, i pray that you find the joy, while you are living the pain. That there are arms that hold you in this time of your life. I have felt the deepest of loves and i have known the endless, emtlyness of love also. I have only began to live. Yes, we must learn to never give up on love.

If there is one thing that i would wish for all the ones i love, it’s that you learn to think with your heart and to listen with there soul.

Peace Falls

by

Clint Rowlett

All at once, she walk’s beside me,

like she has been there all my life.

Not like a stranger but like a friend,

one that can sense when some things wrong.

Then she answers all my question

and she knows of all my fears.

All her words ring of a love, she has for me.

Then all the glory of her love comes rushing true me,

and a peace falls about me like

God has touch me with her.

Lost in the Night

by

Clint Rowlett

I’m lost in the stars tonight.

The moon lights my way.

I can hear a night hark some where close by.

There are flowers every where this time of year

and i can smell every one of them.

I can feel the water around my boat,

i can hear the water as the boat moves on top of it’s waves.

There are fish popping the top of the water for bugs.

There is just enough wind to move my hair about my face.

I’m awake but it all seen’s like a dream.

What a good night to be alive.

My heart is free tonight, it’s open to all around me.

I feel as i could reach out and touch anybody i love

tonight.

How can i tell some one of nights like this?

It’s like God is looking down at me from heaven,

and his hand is on every thing around me.

As i got up i could feel the softness of her fingers

on my skin.

As i stood, her fingers ran down my arm,

it was like a touch I've never felt before.

It made something inside of me fill with Joy.

And i could feel the loving kindness of her soul.

It filled my spirit with love, understanding

in a way I've never known.

First Touch

Clint Rowlett

As i got up i could feel the softness of her fingers

on my skin.

As i stood, her fingers ran down my arm,

it was like a touch I've never felt before.

It made something inside of me fill with Joy.

And i could feel the loving kindness of her soul.

It filled my spirit with love, understanding

in a way I've never known.

Peaceful Skys

by

Clint Rowlett

I lay here under peaceful sky's. The heavens have been good to me today. Then why do i feel like a motherless child? I’m so alone in this world. My soul longs for someone. I need a friend. I need someone to call my name in that voice that tells one they are loved. These peaceful sky’s are falling around me today and there’s a goodness about my spirit. There’s a warm breeze touching my face. The sun is setting in all it’s wonder. The sky is reds and pinks and a very lite blue with little soft clouds that seems to be chasing the sun down into the mountains.

Yes, i have all this beauty but i have no one to share it with. Is there another out here some where watching this same sun set and thinking the same as i? Life is all around me. There’s a herd of deer's about 60 yards to the south of me. The night birds are out all ready and as fast as the sun is going down on me, the stars are making there way into my night.

Why Lord, why have you given me all this beauty and no one to share it with. Why must i do this work but live without the touch of a friends hand to make my sleep full. To make these dreams of loneliness run from me in my nights.

The touch isn’t what my soul longs for as much as the look. The look of someone that loves me. The knowing that there’s another soul on this earth that truly needs me. Lord, you are my Father, you comfort me in your ways and you make me lay down beside still waters. You calm my soul when i see no peace. I know your love for me is never ending and my love for you is the same. But as you see to my very needs, i need to feel needed also. In the ways that you keep me, i need to keep another in the same way. Should i not be my Fathers son? Am i not a part of you? Is there not this goodness in me that comes from you. If i am more then the tree’s of the garden, if I'm more then the beast of the world, then as they all have another the same as them, should i not also have one to share with? So please Lord, give me another. One with eye’s better than mine. One with softer skin then mine. One that when she calls my name, i can’t help but to hear her voice.

Cry

by

Clint Rowlett

Like the cry, of the call of a distance wofe, my soul calls to your heart. Like the longest night of this vast, cold and empty land, my heart longs for the day light of your smile, the touch of your eyes. This cold wind that stings my face, has it also touch yours in the same way? Why, why are we alone tonight? This doesn’t make sence to my heart or soul. Yes, i can reason why we are not together tonight. But this feeling in my soul, tells me this is so wrong.

Think of Her

by

Clint Rowlett

This time last year, i was living in Alaska. I had fallen so much in love . Her eye’s could see in to the deepest places of my soul. We would fly from village to village. We were so happy. Our plane went down one afternoon on the way home. We were not hurt bad, just beat up some. We waited for someone to come and find us. The next day we burn all the clothes we had left in our suit cases and any papers we could fine. No one ever came. We knew we wouldn’t live through the night.The way she held my face and told me she loved me that night. We made our peace with God and i fell a sleep with her in my arms. The next thing i remember, is waking in the hospital. I lived through that night because after i fell a sleep, she took her coat’s off and wraped them around me. Yesterday, i woke, feeling her hands on my face again. Her words of love, still echos in my mind. It was so real.

This is in memory of her and what she did for me. This is all i have to give. It was one year ago today, she died. This is, a hard,hard,thing to live with. I still miss her so much. So my friends, if you ever really want to know what love is, then please, think of her.

Dream

by

Clint Rowlett

Bathed in Moon light, we lay in my bed

A peacefull sleep has fallen upon you

I watch your chest move with every breath you take

There is all most a smile on your lips

and still, there is a way about you, a grace

A saving grace. A grace that has saved me

from never knowing this place in my heart

that only you know how to touch, no not with your hands,

but with your smile, with just a word.

Then i wake, my room is filled with you.

Sometime in the night,I’ve kicked my socks off.

There's a big smile on my face

I know that your thoughts have been of me tonight.

I still believe in the message of a dream.
