Persevere

As we walk bewildered
In these times of subservience
To shadow governments
Corporations
Monarchies and monasteries
Secret societies
And collusions of dark forces
Remember that our souls
Are not complicit in this treachery
One day the clouds do lift
The sun appears unbridled
Shining truth where shade
Once solemnly stood

Ascent

Looking into these eyes
I see new worlds forming
Oceans dancing
Angels singing
Sunshine pouring onto an endless plain
The clouds dissipate
The rain disappears
The rays streak their light
Into the farthest-flung wilderness
You laugh
And God lowers the ladder
And I climb ever higher
Moving into your eyes

Crime Scene

This is a crime scene
The sickly yellow tape
Circumscribing the lot
Runs from China to New York
And back to the Wall
The murderous millions
Still creeping inside
An insidious mix
Of passion and pride
A crime scene not entered
By the angels who witnessed
The innocent pay with their lives

Rocker

The chair still rocks without you
Missing your name, your face, your frame
Leaden air pregnant with your return
By fire, by plane, by magic
Back and forth the wood on wood
Creaking in the darkness
No one sits where this chair stood
Rocking in my brain
Rocking the baby to sleep
Rocking wood to wood
Another floor
In heaven
