Lyrics for i came to the poem

I came to the poem seeking love Seeking self, seeking calm I came to the poem seeking friendship Seeking joy and dreams I found you I came to the poem seeking tenderness Seeking home, a roof, a meal perhaps A garden, a front porch, a stream A few steps beyond the backyard I found you I came to the poem to weep To laugh, to whisper, to yell To dance and be naked through the fields To be more than a body I came to the poem to discover To uncover I found you I came to the poem with my tears To share my joy and my awe I came to the poem to hear The mood of the people To attend, to soothe and sift through I came to the poem to reckon To protest, to confront To challenge and be challenged I found you I came to the poem and found forever I came to the poem to ponder To play, to snap my fingers And clap my hands and stomp my feet I came to the poem and I found you
