The Love Inside Of You! Poem by Eric Cockrell

there lives....
flight within the feathers,
leaves, in bare limbs.

centuries inside mountains,
flow within rivers....
corn in the deadened earth.

fire within the match,
rain within the clouds.
a baby in a lover's touch....

a roar within the lion.
a world inside a turtle's shell,
a story in the old man's smile.

families in the cementary...
oppression inside of oil.
freedom, in a prison cell,

hope, in the addict's shaking hands.
healing, in the moment shared....
passion, in the naked glance.

God, in the small child's eyes,
salvation, in what is given....
the truth beneath the lie....

all waiting....
on the light inside the darkness,
and the love inside of you!
