An arranged marriage
A love that never was
So many secrets
And untouched lands
The burdens she carries
In pursuit of happiness
From God's forest
Of dusk line hills
The plainstones palace
Is the necklace she wears
To commence the descent
A soft jubilant rain
Promises borealis
And offers of peace
She prays silently for each
As they lower the crown
In a flourish of confetti
It's all about pageantry
It's all about possession
And the way she sits
On her throne
Like she sits
On the King's face

*Belonging to Eden,
the garden of
inescapable pleasure.
Prepare to fall again
for the pretty things.
The desire to preserve life
lies at the root.
The way of flowers
--let them beckon and bloom--
sincerely upright,
vessels for memories,
methods of communicating
with distant versions of yourself,
a conversation that could
drift into tears or laughter,
personal revelation
or total silence,
depending on the mood.
If only time and thought
could be as perfectly
arranged as flowers.*

AND NOW, THE END IS NEAR, THE TIME TO FACE THE FINAL CURTAIN. MY FRIEND, IT'S BEEN CLEAR, MY DESTINY, SECURED AND CERTAIN. I LIVED A LIFE OF FAITH, I'VE TRAVELED WIDE AND NARROW HIGHWAYS, AND MORE, MUCH MORE THAN THIS, I DID IT GOD'S WAY.
REGRETS, I'VE HAD A FEW, BUT THANK THE LORD, TOO FEW TO MENTION. I DID WHAT WAS RIGHT TO DO AND FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS. I PLANNED A CHARTERED COURSE TOOK CAREFUL STEPS ALONG THE BYWAY, AND MORE, MUCH MORE THAN THIS, I FOLLOWED GOD'S WAY.
YES, THERE WERE TIMES, I'M SURE YOU KNEW, WHEN I SAID AND DID WHAT I OUGHT NOT TO DO...BECAME CONFUSED AND FILLED WITH DOUBT; YOU SHOWED THE WAY AND THINGS TURNED OUT. I HEARD YOUR CALL, AND I STOOD TALL, AND FOLLOWED GOD'S WAY.
I'VE HAD MY UPS. I'VE HAD MY DOWNS. I HAD SOME WINS, MY SHARE OF LOSING. AND NOW, AS I LOOK BACK, THOSE TIMES I STRAYED, MADE LIFE CONFUSING.
TO THINK, I DID ALL THAT, BUT SADLY SAY, MOSTLY THE HARD WAY...SAVED MY HIS GRACE, LEFT NOT A TRACE, FOR THAT IS GOD'S WAY.
FOR WHAT IS A MAN WHAT HAS HE GOT? IF NOT THE LORD IN THE NUMBER ONE SPOT! HE'LL NEVER KNOW OR TRULY FEEL, TO LIVE IS TO LOVE AND SERVE AND KNEEL!
THE RECORDS SHOWS WHEN WILL WE KNOW TO FOLLOW GOD'S WAY? FOLLOW GOD'S WAY.

I am okay with this brand new arrangement,
Distance from you was not what I ever meant,
But yes, I am okay being just friends with you,
That way I may stay a bit longer if just to linger.

The rhythm of my heart
Beats with such musical intensity
Can you hear it?
So complicated the arrangement
Yet impressively expressive
To all who listen deeply
riveted by
the captivating elements
of LOVE
