The Choice
As the mind does deny
the spirit recalls
Though not a soul of defiant bliss
marked tare by tear inside a kiss
spoiled always then within this patterned soil
what say the darkness of their coil?
Will I bend the flesh […]

Hear O children of the Light
with open ears
and fixed eyes
while in silence of the flesh
For it is that of the mind are we accursed
and of the spirit are we renewed
Who shall shut the Hall of […]
Unforgotten Child
I embrace you only in my heart
As my hands are empty
To love you.
I wish for you only in my dreams
As my soul is poured out
To give to you.
There you were
For this single moment
That will […]
Where is the past
that it shall not become the future?
To set oneself upon another path
requires the consideration of Heaven and Hell
What do we do alone
that those we cannot see
are not witness to?
As time itself is […]
Not with idle hands
was this formed
that we would know
our tender love
How else could it be
that all prayers find their way
into one answer
spoken?
I feel the history
that cannot be felt in any other manner
Embers kiss the gate […]
What if I shared with you
those memories that return always
the ones that make up my life
with perminant presence
forever teaching me
a light to remind me
bringing rain and cloud to my eyes
bringing laughter and loss to my […]

It is that my eyes were aflame
with all that I may consume
The cold, the heat, the island ye even death
that which uncomforts a man
are the […]

while the sky records our intent
it is the wind we do speak
’til heard upon high
What shall we do with the pride of the young
when they stand without weapon
or shield
defying the arrows […]
That all would have a brother to keep their blood
While the saint found within women
could emerge
from the darkness she did encounter
It is not that time forgets our steps
that our eye can be turned away
that our […]
In a time of untruth
there is nothing to speak
nothing to hear
In a time of darkness
there is nothing to see
nothing to build
In a time of corruption
there is nothing to balance
nothing to believe
I say what has been […]
In sorrow do I plead as the distance
laid by the shores of unforgettable memory
The whisper is heard
Was it for another ear?
Why do we walk the narrow path
Between the land and the oceans?
Stepping into the one
retreating […]
To the Remnant of Alabathia
o0o
Nothing can be taught
for no one shall be convinced
unless it is already desired in their heart
With fearlessness you dream
in faith you create
displaying the form of man
As stone […]
