Begin Again

That person that you see
Isn't me
And that's OK
I know it can be hard to take off
your hate colored classes, some days

It's human nature
It's born into sin
It's unwashed. Unclean
It's where we all begin

I can't always change your mind
But I don't have to nod along
I won't be lead away by the blind

I have a purpose
I am beautiful. Kind
I am loved. Adored
And I won't be left behind.
I won't be ignored.

Fingers at the ready
For pointing at my sins
Pseudo compassion to conceal
All of your grins

You don't want me to succeed
but that's OK
That is what they all say

It's human nature
Its born into sin
It's unwashed. Unclean
It's where we all begin

I hope I never make you feel that way
I am responsible too
Because love for a love
makes the whole world forgiven
This much I know is true

Let's take a moment and shake hands
Begin again and try to understand

Because
I am done with human nature
I am reborn out of sin
I am washed.
I am clean
Ready to begin Again

Inferno

In a world without light

I hold my candle in the wind 

flickering and sputtering for life

Against the threatening storm

I hear an earsplitting screech of desperation

Scanning the darkness for the source

Only to realize it came from deep within 

Reverberating through my bones

and harmonized by distant breaking hearts

A single tear slips through the clouds

falling unnoticed

Onto a gray, barren land. 

 Groping and desperate 

I hold my candle to the heavens

a small prayer 

a faltering home 

 Let the faint Candle 

become an INFERNO 

He Calls

Lightening Strikes the hilltop 

While the valley below rests in shadow

The green of the grass matted and red

In all the noise of hate

No one can hear the light

A solitary soldier dressed for battle 

Stands up on that hill 

His sword drawn 

Gleaning with the light of justice 

His feet swift, but planted 

Calling out to his army 

The once proud soldiers, now asleep

Hiding in caves

Afraid that the light will reveal their fear. 

So, once again, He Calls! 

And the stones cower 

from the reverberating demand 

Reluctant soldiers, Rise Up!

Who can stand against you?

We are merely children 

But armed with the only power 

Even dry bones could not be defeated

Rise up 

Awaken
