Shema—

His words leak
Into the stones
Of the pasture wall,
Into the folds of
My heart.

Shema—

Open our ears
And let our actions

Reflect the love
Of our God.

Shema—

Listen closely;
Let our attention
Wander over the
Goodness of
His word.

Shema—

With all our heart,
Strength, and soul,
Desire the guidance
He provides out of
The love we cannot
Understand.

Shema—

Help us comprehend,
Lord, open our ears
To who You are.

Shema—

Shadows everywhere
Following my past
Do I leave a stain
Is there really that much hurt

I can see them creeping out
Just a glimpse awaits
Hungry as they lurch
Drowning from my sadness

It's early and I'm searching for dawn
I've seen enough for the night
I can taste their thirst
And it's bitter oh so bitter

Light me awake
Hide all thats dank
Till the ticking of time
Comes looking for my fear
