More Than

More scared than faith  heaven can wait. Goosebumps more  than Braille Every tale of less than proves we're blinded by more than socio-economic design when we recite  Jay's on my feet and quit school  cause of Shakespeare. Certain that orbits  eventually falter; the course we're  meant for sometimes alters Brimstone and sin is where confusion   begins. Took awhile, but love seeped in Peace came and went left us spent albeit  understanding how fear was maiming. One drop sent a chilly ripple through limps we thought were there, so when we stepped out on faith, a nurse kept us from falling on our faces. We're recovering from PTSD and every acronym. More embarrassed  than anything  to foolish to say a thing. Pride vs. bravado  hearts more or less hollow  A father's tail a child bound to follow Hallowed be thy name A boy swallows  as if standing on top a skyscraper ledge.  Taking a step the crowd at Ground Zero, gasps and says, "NO." Hands up lifted momentum shifted More fall than wind more fear let in, Wings outstretched  Catch air and raises No fear, just  praises. Love starts falling  Uncovering a calling  more electric  than lighting.  Frightening  what appears,  when pen is uninhibited and flirts around her name
