life
seems
so

the

the
strangeness
of
your
sweet beauty
is
a
metamorphosis
of
you soul

your
beauty

when
you
burst

from
the
cacoon

preist
are
men
who
hide
behind
their
thick black robes
thus
make
confessions
to
holy statues
and
paintings
inside
the
church walls
and
whispering still
their
confessions
again and again
of
other
man
who
cheat and steal
yes
these
priest
are men
because
these
priest
are real

only
when
our
souls
that
have fallen
from
the
heavenly
stars
are
to

bends
the
arcs of light
just
ask
the
bashful
rainbow
after
the
quiet storm
oh
what
joy and delight
when
truth
bends the light

water
may
flow
through
our
cupped hands
thus
rushing
towards
the
river of light
that
sing out
the
sweet words of glory
