Advocate of Angels

So you, say you so individual
truth to be comforted by original

And there on the pavement
as the collection of sidewalk shoes pass
the crowd stitched together by fashionable thread
in this beating brain box irrelevant
so constrained to the uniformity farce
you bend to the will, but not the life in your head

So you, say you so uniquely you are individual
a singular event horizon of special

And though the packets of conformity demonstrate
with such social whisper newspaper personality
on each and every agreement to the norm
this smothered personal construct left to irritate
in quiet spirals aches for liberty
to define the cognizant of human form

So you, say you ineffable face-to-face mortal soul
so gifted in scope of dreams indefinable

A chant to raise on vocal the butterfly sunrise
the coursing vein of love unfathomable 
you of sweetest passion for life nurtured heart
in all those moments of scatterbrain wonder surmise
the unique intent of your own improbable
creates the moment of you from the very start

So you, say you so precious so you unrepeatable
say you, to you, so inescapable 
such a thing in the mind of God, remembers you
and all but wish to splendour
to greet in all that is, so individual
truth to be comforted by, you, say you so original

There is nothing amidst all this spectacle universal grand creation
that is anything like you

Look into these my strangers eyes
and know this to be true.
