Will you walk with me in Gethsemane Dreams

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.

Will you still

Walk with me dearest reader

The one I once named

Anointed and baptised within 

my mind with my love

In my own ancient

Gardens of Gethsemane

Where together once again

in this secretive conversation 

Between two souls

I know I'll no longer stand alone 

Will you pray wherever you are

To help empower me 

when the Darkness Soldiers 

come 

To encourage and help me 

breach all those rugged mountains 

over forty days and nights 

I need to climb on my own again

Into the Devil's zone 

so you can atone

But all I ask of you 

now at this moment 

Is simply this

Upon my sanguine lonely hand

plant an incandescent soft

kiss

To reignite my eternal soul

and clench tightly my hard 

working carpenters hands

So we can both walk

into this new resurrection

This inexplicable 

deceptive life

we both now live within

Merged together to now run

Totally unafraid of the 

Darkness Soldiers and 

whatever may come
