When Illness Comes

There is no breath only pain Pain mocking draining down Down in the sick sully vein Veins constricting stopping now When the illness comes... There is no beat; only pain Pain maddening searing up Up in the hearts red veins Veins constricting stopping now When the illness comes... There is life and no more pain Pain ending stopping now Now God is graceful in this vein Veins breathing loving now
