Patience Through All Worlds
It's the end of all things
in moments that fleet as our dreams
this life shall flourish, forever
in sunlight, and shade
wrapping every breath
within lights last fade.
To increase with virtue
decrease by chance
rest on crutch
never forward stance
still we hope
still, we, hope
grabbing for the twisting horn
to tear our hearts
and leave them torn
this shall not end
this, shall, not, end.
patience through all worlds
your hair tumbles down
grasping for your back
painted eyes outlined in black
If god, in white, can see each face
can we then look away
to dark, stark, space
long enough to notice perfection
it stares striking back
as pure reflection
can we then look away
to miss today
the falling starlight ray
raining down in tones of gray.
dull points, lives as steam
all god is in the fleeting
lost in birthing seam
all words are timbered lies
all forms just shadows
that fade bright before our eyes.
