thumbs out on a desert road
I am told
leads to nowhere
any shade is as good as
the next
if your shadow doesn't go there
week seven: did you reall
assume
I'd find some solace from the
letter in your room?
next life, could you kindly
refrain
from throwing yourself at the
mercy of a train?
silence all, nobody breathe
how in the world could you
just leave?
you promised you would
silence that evil with good
maybe this world is a barren
place for a soul
prone to get lost
but heaven still hounds from
the smallest sounds
to the cries of the
storm-tossed
week nine: I am writing in
the sand
and little clue that could help
me understand
every whispered secret, every
muffled sigh
every half-truth that was added
to a lie
silence all, nobody move
I've got to know now what you
hoped to prove
you promised you would
silence that evil with good
shame feeds guilt, guilt
needs release
you took it to God
you made your peace
and swore that you would
overcome evil with good
every old demon playing back
the crime
if they needed blood, I'd have
glady given mine
a Child of the Knigdom
still an invalid
forgive her, please Father
she don't know what she did
silence all, now go to sleep
the water's free, the well
is deep
how can we return
that which we never
could earn?
God, I long to see her face
we haven't a hope
beyond Your grace
I know that You will
overcome evil
for good
