A Cry In the Night
Your voice kisses the breath of the morning wind
Snapping in the solemnity that bears a cry unto God.

Like the wind creaking among the faith we once had.

love, the sentiment we adore,
our passion has come to the fore,
Now, we shall open love’s floodgate,
love divine we shall consecrate,
we walk slowly, the time is late.
Come,...

When in on his horse came a galloper named Rusty.

Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings
Unsatiated cravings open the floodgate of suffering,
the surging torrent of torment tosses the servile soul,

Peace On Earth
When all squabbles and wars shall cease

and eradicates our pretentious contrivance
We might...

Through the pain of the years.

Ignorance by fools
Ignorance so tragic
Tragic stupidity
