Sweet Chariot


"Sweet Chariot"

Swing low
sweet chariot 
where it hurts
most, we smile
through the pain,
violins always 
swept me away
saving pianos
for buriel daze,
keys, each a note,
to be played

demons come 
and they go
burned at the stake

the collaboration
when it flows 
off page, is what it is

never a clean escape;

LOVE, 
always flies in 
to save the day

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)





Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home. 

I'm sometimes up 
and sometimes down,
Coming for to carry me home.
