Do not let your light fade,
in the face of the dying sun
As dusk is upon us,
where is our lunar ascension?
Do not give up on this testament
Do not lose hope on our dying breed
The eternal springs will resound again
Metaphysical permanence swallows
Tethered to this terrestrial ball of
dirt, sky, sea & light
3-2-1 here comes the clouds of war
Nuclear air impoverishes the downtrodden
This darkness surrounds our weakened
& wicked glowing orb
Hell cannot win, paradise will persist
Choking out demons in the hallways
As angels grasp my ivory shoulders
Screaming in the streets "eradicate your hate"
as the supernatural drags me back
Do not subject your dying hearts
among the land of greed
Or lie in the the gutters among the weak
Do not give up, do not lose hope
Peace will pacify those bleeding hearts
The wicked will not continue to
abuse power forever
Some day the light will win & all will
come to fruition
As the chastised burn in the
flames of perdition & sin

Origami--easy on the surface
Twisted impossible paper figures
Retreating hands shake into oblivion
Scars of old burdens greet my passive soul
Aggravation destroys every sweet note
Melodies reverberate about my head
Tearing the fine paper into destruction
Crumpled into a useless ball like yarn
A pyre awaits for redemption's day
Light it up, let it burn, o the eternal
Kerosene & gasoline purify through fire
Freedom of the mind & body elude me
Bones sink into Earth, as I reach the final rest
As angels weep, demons cackle in the deep

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!

Ten toes down. Ten fingers clinging to
the cross — but even I can admit: some
unanswered prayers leave me feeling
_so cross_.
Where both the heart and mind
start to whisper —"maybe we’ve already
been crossed out from receiving blessings,"
even after giving ourselves to that same cross.
The soul isn’t an __X__ to unconditional love —
it still holds on, trembling, but my human
nature keeps crossing out its own heart.
Unwilling to believe in the redemption that
bled for it, too caught in its own voice
to hear anything softer.
Pride’s the loudest preacher in the room.
It tells me, "you deserve it all" — as long as it's
everything I want and nothing I have to wait
for; even when I try to even the odds, I’m
reminded: human nature is always at odds
with itself.

When the battle lines are drawn, and the horn of war has sounded
When you are outnumbered, and the enemy has you surrounded
When your heart is beating madly inside your chest
Summon up the hope that springs eternal in the human breast
And go, once more, unto the breach!
When the walls fall, and the defenses are shattered
And you are bruised and broken, ****** and battered
Fight with all your being and brave the sea of foes
Fight for God and for family, fight for the love of those
And go, once more, and stand in the gap
We are called to stand in the gap, and even give our lives
We are called to intercede for our children and our wives
Lay down your sword and take up the arrows of love
Pierce the dark and fill the void with light from above
And go, once more, and stand in the gap
Christ has come as the Holy and Annointed One
To stand in the gap that our sin had begun
The chasm that separated us is no more
For the cross has become the bridge to the far shore
And Jesus, once more, stands in the gap
Since the fall and by the sins of mortal man
We find it difficult to truly understand
That our hearts are broken and there stands a void
We struggle to find the peace we once enjoyed
Only the love of God can fill the void
The angels' battle is relentless and eternal
Against the forces of darkness infernal
The earth is slick with blood and death
But still, they fight on with every last breath
And go, once more, unto the breach!

I don't know where to start
I thought I was done
Being distant, pushing down my feelings
Till they're non-existent
But they're never truly gone, are they?
They're always there, waiting to pounce
For the second when my guard is down
To drain my joy, every ounce
"Take me away from reality, please," I beg
But it turns out reality is just what I need
The further I draw away from my emotions
The louder my heart cries out for forgiveness
For a taste of what's real
A taste of holiness
I'm so sick of feeling
Like my problems are small
For I tell myself it's selfish
To get weighed down by them all
And maybe that's true, and I'm partially right
But it doesn't change the fact that because of it
My days aren't as bright
And my burden's no more light
This mess of confusing feelings
It's all I can do not to scream
To stamp my feet in frustration
Like a child learning what "no" means
This feeling of fulfillment
Yet dissatisfaction
A fear of tomorrow
Yet knowing tomorrow will be just a fraction
Of this life that I must bear
All deserve more from me
Yet no one deserves anything
And certainly not the mercy we all share
"God, why do you love me?" I constantly ask
"For there is nothing desirable in me to grasp."
"Because child, I made you," You say with a smile
"You're my daughter, my friend, though your thoughts may run wild.
I made you to be like this
Although it is painful
For life is a battle
You're among demons and angels
Little do you know, child, of the war going on
For you've only seen a fraction of his army of pawns
There are shadows around you, some of dark and some of light
And you simply wouldn't be able to bear the sight
I've protected your soul from the darkness outside
You're embraced in my arms, it's the place you reside
And although you may face challenge black as the night
Just think of my love, the things I have not allowed in your life
For my hand is upon you, guarding your heart
Your mind is my own, it has been from the start
And though you'll have to face them and go out once more
And though you may come back from the battle sore
You will learn, my daughter, that this is not disaster
It is not permanent turmoil, for it's your heart that I'm after
So do not worry about the day or the night
For where you go I will go, to be a shield and a light."
