The Easter Time Loop

The Easter Time Loop (A lone voice whispers) Will you still Walk with me The one I once named Anointed and baptized within my mind In my own ancient Gardens of Gethsemane Where together once again I shall no longer stand alone Will you pray wherever you are To empower me When the Darkness Temple Soldiers come To encourage me To help me to breach all the rugged mountains I need to cross To atone But all I ask of you Now At this moment Is simply this Upon my sanguine lonely cheek Plant an incandescent soft spiritual kiss of belief And whisper Amen To reignite my eternal soul To help me clench tightly my hardworking hands As we both Into this new rebirth, wait for release again From this inexplicable deceptive life We both now live Within If you visit this My time loop in words Surrounded by sin Where I'm constantly reborn To walk Via Dolorosa Also known as the Sorrowful Way In the Old City of Jerusalem So I ask Will you light some frankincense and myrrh, incense candles Someday Soon So the aroma Can reach and carry the prayers of the faithful And yours Even higher From wherever they are In whichever rooms Urging those prayers to rise faster to Heaven So someone I know Can hear their call for help or guidance From spiritual depression To help them keep standing in the lines of those enjoying the power of faith Through self-expression (C) Copyright John Duffy
