Dark Melody

Burning in my heart a dark melody
The path obscured byfog and shade of tree
Terror grips me as I look down the trail
Dreading the consequences should I fail
I step forward in God's mercy and grace
Yearning so much to meet him face-to-face
As I try to move past fear's baneful sting
My dark melody I shall ever sing

To Look Beyond

To look beyond the lights of the city
Beyond materialism's cold grasp
To view the world as Jehovah sees it
A place of great sorrow in need of love

To look beyond the popular image
Of hyenas as unholy vermin
And sympathize with the ill-reputed
Bearing witness to their inner beauty

Oh, to look beyond her beautiful eyes
And to hear beyond her angelic voice
Into that soul God had put in her heart
And to fall deeper in love with her

To look beyond the vile sins of my past
Beyond the fiend I see in the mirror
SEarching for what good exists within me
and love myself as God would want me to

Pure Vigor

Mountain of muscle
Wielding a keratin sword
The rhinoceros
Embodies God's pure vigor
And strikes fear into evil

Aching Heart

Within the shadow
Of an aching heart, there burns
A cold agony
That seperates a man's mind
From the pleasures of his life

Eidolons

What nigthmares haunt you?
What eidolons rape your sleep?
May I do something
To fight the sorrows you face?
May I come into your heart?

Last Lifetimes

The wind tastes the marrow of my bones
Jehovah's movements become evident
Through the leaves of each tree I encounter
And moments can last lifetimes when I pause
To listen for the song quietly sung
y tBhe branches seeking to comfort my soul
What better Elysium can there be?
