Absolution
an oasis at the end of your long trail
a dip in the pool of Heaven's sweet Grace
how did you know that this was the place?
a sanctuary for keeping all of your secrets safe
out it all pours as stardust from the dipper
flecked with gold specks, shining in the moon's light
words written carelessly in black and on white
cause for reflection in the dead of my night
sleep that evades me and dreams that don't come
as the sun starts to fade and evening soon befalls
I try to make sense out of nothing at all
but the piper is insisting on his margin call
nothing will I tell, your secrets not divulge
like a Priestess to a penitent, I lock it all in
I offer absolution for all of your sins
lighting a candle of peace for you my sweet friend
