Reconciling the Heart

Broken, abandoned ....done But then you show up ...THE one Anger poured forth Like a whip in the wind I could not endure YOU YOU, always have to win I didn't know love Was some kind of sick game Where people did horrible things Then attached your sacred name Nope.... ......but, then ...........HOPE .......................threw me a golden rope Oh, but I had conditions I would never again, do religion Rules never saved anyone And makes for too many cooks in a kitchen If I'm walking, we are TALKING If I have things to know, you alone, can show ...........TRUTH No more freakin' lies About how magic happens in the heart When you appear to a child Who hasn't had a moment to even start ..........longing What, were you marking territory Making me some grand story No matter how much healing Still seems like life is stealing .......innocence I have walked, talked, and even balked At "THE WAY" humans must travel Choice points a fist, even now As faith in religion begins to unravel .....and we, the judge ...................reach for the gavel There is no reconciling the wayward mind .........to THAT HEART ............that LOVES, humanity ....................even unto to death I lie prostrate before my KING Though LOVE would allow me to stand His holiness is sacred beyond thought And anything this mind is allowed to understand ............HE IS GOD ................the end.
