I HEAR HIM SINGING
By Dennis Ducey August 17, 1999
Dedicated to the memory of John Denver.
...Once there was a bright and shining Star
who’s voice and words filled my days with joy ---
and whose deeds set an example to guide my way ---
I heard him singing, Songs for all Lovers
Songs that expressed my deepest love - for my lady ---
As if he had looked into - my soul,
and wrote them just for me ---
and I knew that millions felt the same ---
I heard him Singing - Songs for all children,
Songs to End Hunger
Songs to End W-a-r ----
and they touched my soul ----
I heard him Singing - Songs for the Mountains,
Songs for the Rivers,
the Flowers,
and the Trees ----
and they filled my heart with hope and joy ----
I heard him Singing with the voice of an Angle
of his Love for You and for Me -----
and it brought tears to my eyes ---
And now I feel my heart is breaking, there’s an emptiness in side ---
I fear the Light that Brightened my days will shine no more ---
that voice that seem to come from within me ---
that expressed the things I couldn’t find the words to say ---
With the voice of an angle he gave words to my deepest feelings,
words I could not find or express, he expressed with such beauty,
and clarity they spoke directly to my soul -----
He became - - the voice of my soul ------
Oh I know his music lives on and often brightens my days ----
but I never know when his songs will bring tears to my eyes,
or a sense of loss that threatens to overwhelm me ----
And when I think, the emptiness inside me, is more than I can bare ---
I turn to the Mountains and look for there;
I search for him there in the flight of an Eagle,
or the sight of wild horses running free ----
And I hear him singing in the forest, as the wind whispers through the trees
He’s telling us - All that live here - where born to be free ----
I hear him Singing in sounds of the river,
Singing - I want to run Free ------
I hear him Singing in the Cry of an Eagle,
telling us to Be All That We Can Be ----
to stand up for our Mother the Earth,
for the Children, -- to End Hunger, -- to End War ----
and when we do He will be standing there beside us ----
And with a tear in my eye I KNOW he is HERE within YOU, within ME --
And I know the light he has brought into our lives need not go out,
for he has passed the torch to You --- and to Me,
In his songs and his deeds he has shown us the path to a Brighter World ---
Embrace one or more of the causes he worked for, with all your heart and soul,
In your hart you know what to do, find the courage to take a dedicated stand,
and let the knowledge that you can make a difference, brighten your day ---
And if all of that Love him stand up and do one thing to make the world a better
place ---
------- We will surly create a Glow that will light the world. -------
