In fertile fields
Fragile blooms heavy with seed
Swaying lucid dreams
Coupled with a whispered destiny
Do you believe?
(Father forgive me for my sins)
I listened
Pulse quickening to the promise
Carried on transparent beams
the angelic rush of lesser light
Left me sightless
Blind witness to the culling
Harvest put to flame
Only aborted dreams remain
(My life ends where yours begins)

Fragrant flowers consumed
Emotional holocaust of volcanic ash
Scorched earth your cordial offering
Death is the memory of a smile
Shadows pass across your face
(Along this fractured path I race)
I let your passion burn within me
Fury, vengeance and rage
Your forever promise ever hellish
Echoes in my smoking soul
I let the sun set on my anger
(Falling far from perfect grace)
Let you shackle me with my own actions
My guilt a noose to snap my neck
You the author of defeat
another broken soul for your unholy altar
(resurrect this child from this dead end street)
I cling to life in the balance
Waiting

silence welling in the aftermath
Crescendoed message resonant
let go...let go...
Is there oblivion in the release
(place my spirit to worship at your feet)
Falling away from everything I know
The old man shatters within
(wash away my every sin)
(my life ends where you begin)

There's a little parenthetical shabby verse within this thing. It was never well received at its "other home" so I hold no expectations for here but I am grateful for my ugly poetic children as well as the more popular ones. As a writer I am a coyote, an opportunist and will take whatever scraps I can.

The world needs a Savior, more then ever before.
With so much suffering, and pain that everyone is in.
Though most will deny needing a Savior to save them.
There is but one being that can save us today and it is God.
For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son.
That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil.
For you O Son of the Living God is with me all of the time.
For you Lord Christ are my Source of eternal life forever more.
If I die I gain a blessed  life with you in Heaven up above us all.

My God is my Salvation, my God is my defense.
He has restore my soul from the dark reaches of death.
For he loves us more then we could ever imagine.
For he had created us out of nothing into somebodies.
He ransom  his own life so that we may live in heaven
He went through suffering and pain to rescue us from death.
He did it all while we were yet his enemies, saving us from h3ll.
He knew our outcome before we were even born into life.

Being children of God is my greatest desire of all.
There times when we need to reach out to the lost.
There also will be times when we are called to stand alone.
For God needs to be number one to us, his people.
His will needs to be our greatest desire of all in this world.
His desire is to love him first and then our fellow neighbors.
For Love is the greatest gift of all to put them before ourselves.
To show them how to love others, by doing it ourselves.
