Crashing beat of the heart
Each movement
A step toward transcendent madness
That smells of
Fresh Oak

Look out on the solider like clouds
Their bayonets reflecting the high sun
Smiles upon their blood splattered faces

Burning homes with the children of the ******
Placing their dinner ware still atop their table
Flag waving for a country that has forgotten them
Disemboweled them
Forced them to see & touch & smell
Death

A father figure
No one
Ever asked for

Feel the cool wind blow
Upon the trout filled pond
Father unpacks our fishing gear
As the yellow sun
Peaks around the mountains rear

Yes'
A scream from underneath the water
The dead rise to rise to the sky
Each rock an eye
A finger
The soft supple lips of
A once living woman

Charcoal burning in the eyes of God
And the Devil

Each angel
Clipping their wings
Adjusting their souls
For battle

We have used the church seats
For a signaling fire
To the heavens
The mob is no longer happy
With their own created
Digital age

We are more alone
Then we've ever been

The knock on the door
Is not that of a friend
But of a past enemy
Long thought to be dead

Let him in.

Let him in.

Let him in.

See what

You

Are made of

Why should I be good?
If you turn the other cheek
And take who I love
Away?

How is Your wisdom
Your answer
For my pain?

The vastness
That You encompass
Makes me snarl in my sleep
At my powerlessness
And my
Jealousy

Faith is a five letter word
Dipped in deceit &
Desire & blindness

But the beauty of it all
The burning rose
The white picket fence
One's first true feeling of love

Those are Your gifts
To hide what you have in store;
The bet
Where you stand to gain

Clarinet call
Trumpet blast
Baseness of eternity

A river runs through your fingers
As You take the ones you want
And leave the one's you do not

Left to wander hoping to find You
Though You are already gone

The pace of the packs
Has picked up in the desert
Short on water
They look to the sky for help

Cloudless
Infinite & Blue
They start to weep

The Vanishing Hope

Crying
Until every tear
Is
Dried Up
