Mercy
Corrosion springs to violence brings
A crude malicious tune
On crowded sheet of heaven street
We cry for what is true
I fought for you and lost for you
And wait for you to find
Me holding prize with all my might
Although it’s barely mine
Truth’s a bird with broken wing
Tattered and abused
It dove for us, and died for us
Waiting for our notice
Sought, and lost, and cherished
Though loved it bites and stings
Its one blind eye held back in darkness
This all our caring brings?
I craft my prayers to tonic spells
And light them in the night
That universe may not ignore
What’s beautiful and bright
Make Love a giant with wizened eye
My shadow parts the way
For mercy bring the truth to flight
And grace our fear away.
