I Hear Violence

The rush of words so strong 
rough like sand going to eons long 
words of power beauty brutality 
rush like falling bombs or is it stars being born
Sour is a sound bleeds from lips so sweet 

I hear violence 
fire of words jagged dark 
deep cutting you hurting 
so tender draining into wells rippling
Breaking Glass Crystal chimes 
Sharp shards still a heartbeat 

I feel violence 
Like velvet violins in vast voids
Nowhere to stare no way to still the gun 
push pause, rewind

I see violence 
Lord, burn the images deep 
staring into hells heart
High in to the atmosphere 
lights of stars following near
like rain black the insane 

I feel violence
A hurtful sounds, words of power 
and grace ancient tiny sand blowing 
long inward toward land, beyond.
Falling bombs heavens cascade 
violence I hear like velvet violins in fast voids 
Swing the blade, stay the sword I feel violence.
I see violence like 
thunderstorms in damnation distance…

Do you hear that tear my Lord…
