       Dance happily in the wind...

until its totally forsaken
for miracles we pray
yet and still we disobey

missed lessons
means blocked blessings

" Damn you, let go my gun! "
The morning hasn't even yawned yet
and a terrible tussle is in my sight,
Drouillard is wrestling his rifle from the hands of this Indian thief
and the Field brothers are chasing after two others,
to my left I can see the...

I sung all the night with the Devil,
It seemed harmony had found itself spooning with dissonance
Not indeed needing to be one or the same
Yes—the light indeed could sustain itself in the midst
Of what then was our prison
Now a sanctuary of content wonder—
Now,
Saturated in tears,

Ne'er was there wife, nor love, more Pure than Thou,
Spontaneously funny, innocent,
