(A lone voice whispers.)
It's all mythical
And true love is a miracle
This I've found
After opening one or two lyrical doorways
Within this underground maze
Within my mind
For unconditional silent prayers
Seeking
Needing and pleading for it
Soft prayers
Carried gently upwards
Like Autumn leaves
Into the midnight breeze
With such ease
Ephemeral but eternally spiritual
Through embedded emotions
Within every little notion
Is it why in this endless smokey darkness
I still dance
The Dance of Memoriae Aeternae
As invisible butterflies
Circle
Whispering her secret colorful name
Like hungry flames
In the fading moonlight
Licking and
kissing my hard skin
Landing and
Lying in wait
For that transitional universal moment
When I surrender myself to the past
Through these starlight filters
That always last
For I'm an untamed wild spirit
Bathing in surreptitious
originality
For I've endured the conception and cessation of light and love
In endless dark
Seen sharpened knives
Hidden in poetic words
Watched my heaven and earth being summoned to turn to ash
But as the burning seeds of chaos grew
I turned to you
Jesu
For much has been outgrown
And this you've shown
(A lone voice sings.)
Oh
Holy wisdom
Oh
Holy wisdom
Show me
Thy kingdom
Thy kingdom
So bright
So I can be
I can be
Drawn to thee
Drawn to thee
Tonight
Tonight
Lift my soul
Lift my soul
To new heights
To new heights
Tonight
Amen
