Rampart
5-11-16

The vail is done away in Christ
With memory corrupted
And bones that run dry
Blinded in that the day remains
God bring you to a fairer place
To seek a bloody sod for our recessional
Reading readily rampart
Lord of our far-flung battle line
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord, Amen!
But ever unto this day with a resolution
To transcend my ego of shining charms
Be here and now
Resolutions are not laws
Such are ideas
I grow weary in the battlefield
But I must say that God is my shield
And love is the weapon that I wield....




Still Lighting Up
5-11-16

In you I have been blessed
What more can you expect
Lighting one, my pilot sits still
In another version of media overkill
Come the tumult and the shouting that dies
Another beautiful centerpiece
A universe at rest for the sweet buds
Yes every one I've been given
The conviction of lighting up
By the rising of another sun
To turn and walk away
And keep all ego at bay
To accept oneself in the month of May
Taking the dare of curiosity
In all I have to say
O, I have overcome much in my time
Here on earth...
