Been in a dry spell lately. I started this one about six years ago. Finally finished. Hope you all like.
Alone in the night A memory stood Naked and cold and veiled Fueled by the lie Of destiny robbed A ghost of itself In hopelessness wailed . In fear the memory, frozen; Heard a call from deep in the night Apprehensive heart flooded with passion A rhapsody to run to the light The dirge of sorrow subsiding With dawn overtaking the night . The substance of hope now rekindled Evidence undeterred yet unseen The call of the fathers resembled The one forming and coming to be The groan of creation upon it Made by the Son to be free . The chains of religion now broken The shackles of fear dissolved Windows of Heaven reopened Overwhelmed by the power of Love . Strength made perfect in weakness Basked in the glow of the call Gates of hell lying in ruins With Grace overtaking the wall Fear and hate shamed and defeated And Life freely offered to all
