Grant My Desire
Grant my desires…
To convey my thoughts freely
To holler at candid volumes
What must be expressed, deafeningly
That anguished chagrin burning
A fiery spark of reverence
In the eyes of those passing me by
While day-by-day the masses survive
Existing in lives adrift in unconsciousness
Grant my desires…
For this world I’ll beget
Held by consequences of odium and ardor
I’ll bring victory from the jaws of lethargy
Once granted the tools the scenes I design
Concrete towers replaced by a home lakeside
Superhighways lost to the bubbling of creeks
In the easy hills of fresh cut grass
Life shall never be what it seems
Grant my desire…
For a new beginning constructed
Where you and I shall live in utopia found
A place foreign to anger or conflict and sorrow
I shall build this life for only we two
In which we can discover the beauty of each
Where all things will be clear and untainted
A home where you may sleep in the peace you crave
Unfettered and whole in the oneness of both
Grant my desire…
For the strength to fight forward
Defending this cause to bring about change
Investing of creativity and blissful intent
Of a fervor carried forth on angels wings
Like the perfect ring shall this hope last
No beginning or end found in its features
Eternity claimed by the chance of the moment
In the die of perfection cast
Grant my desire…
And as tribute to be presented
I shall weave you a tapestry of providence
Highlights intertwined of fate and desire
Covering the many walls of our life’s toil
Telling our stories for those whom discover
The bridge between perfection and cold reality
Grant my desire to convey my thoughts freely
To holler out at candid volumes…
