A new day burdens itself
Upon the edges of skeleton leaves
From dusk and her burial dress
I summon from the depths (release)
Dive bomb apathy stabs the wounds
The tears of self-dessention still sting
Like pellting rain in a desert range
Smell the natural fear!
To be a lectern of service for You
Causation of subtle pain I breathe
In the ancient warrior atmosphere
Absolute bewilderment, stabbing jaws
Haunted halos repeat, savior eyes hollow
Questions echo edging the maddening pursuit
The elegy for the faithful!
On wounded dove wings I rise
Horizontal vision with spinning falterings
Father of none, see the mourning mist rise
Where the nose of death teems against life
Follower of light from mumbled breath
Rattle ensues & the passing of the torch to You
Partner of sobering intellectual pondering
Over the edge into the face of God
Witness the dark where it all began!
