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…
