Until The World Surrenders

The Self blossoms from silence
dreams autonomous and whole
Beautiful the last gasp, so aware and precious
sacred and only
Designed specific and birthed clean

Our justices are transient and therefore nonexistent

we race to the end with what we decide is ours to own
greater pretensions to mask this mortal dread
we should not be known or named by this
Would this poison be cruel, that we may realize

Thing to pile on top of other things

Halved by half we could remain buried

cannibalized by others as we cannibalize others

breeding more and more

for the purpose of excretion and to no other end

In our righteousness we forget what sometimes shimmered

is sometimes gold, resplendent in our pride

We were the Kings and Queens of Gods and Men

sweeter stilled and hidden
A loftier gaze breathes Heaven downward

With desperate sounds we connect to anything

let it stick with mortal flair

seized and held til all is but weight

drunk on foreign maps and design 

Not one moment solely kept

Can we stand and see it all as it should be

to feint fearless with valiant sureties

A reminder of our sacred gifts

Eyes maddened and bruised

speckled film perforated revealing some hint to a time

pure of purpose reason and justice

 looking past the tragic scope

 Transplanted people refurbished and hobbled
So We are kindle without flame
Our pities sanctioned by A parliament of pleasantry
 By A strangers hand all forgiven or buried 

 So we dig deep in secret gardens

Faith for faith in our time of dirt 

clutching without holding as

Our plans lie folded and kept unrevealed to a truant future

What is desired least, ours is forfeit most

So Shattered dearest one

Lets us be ruin

Homeless and Estranged for all time

we will sing the song of endings

through mouths embittered and dried

Until the World surrenders us wholly

and we are married to void and deserving of remission

as seen for so long but never side to side

time is patient, where we can never be

our sighs will give birth to a new age of tears
