Calling
Her calm, her violence
A whisper and fury
Her cold, suffocating touch
She’s calling out to me
A few gasps of air
What was once daylight
Gives way to the darkness
She’s calling out to me
The harder I swim
The closer she gets
Her essence consuming
Shes calling out to me
My strength, exhausted
My vision, faded
My will, broken
She’s calling out to me
One last mayday
As I reach for her embrace
My life becomes hers
No longer does she call out to me

Hammer
The hammer once wielded
To shatter this cold, hopeless heart
To be rebuilt with two
The hammer that built a life
With every imperfect and twisted board
Held together with such fragile nails
The hammer
The worn handle
The bent claws
The scarred head
The hammer that so fiercely
Tore it all down
To build it all back
warmer
Stronger
Bigger
That hammer
That has stood the test
Through hell itself
That hammer passed down
Called upon again
To shatter this old, aging heart
The heart
Not warm enough
Not strong enough
Not big enough
This hammer must fiercely
Tear this heart down
To build it all back
Warmer
Stronger
Bigger
Where there used to be room
For barely one
Then two
Three
Four
This hammer
That has stood the test
Needs to build room for more

In this I find,
What lies inside,
Weary heart,
Healing.
In this I find,
My child's eyes,
Pure, innocent,
Openness.
In this I find,
Through lovers touch,
Warm embrace,
Passion.
In this I find,
This world, mine,
Love, forgiveness,
Everlasting.

Pendulum
Just let go this time,
The pain you'll hardly notice.
It always comes back as high,
You have my word indeed, I promise.
It didn't return as planned?
Try a bit higher, you'll be astonished.
It will cut deeper but not to worry,
It will come back, you have my word, I promise.
Still falling short, you can't stop now.
Just reach higher, the plan is flawless.
When you're at the bottom what's left to lose.
It will come back, you have my word, I promise.
The last swing just cut you in two?
What a shame, too late to notice.
I'll eat the half that was to be,
And give the rest to death and misery.
No coming back, you have my word, I promise.

Dust
Close, distant, non-existent.
Millions simply swept away,
For an inquiry that may never be revealed.
Cosmic dust, questioning.
Billions of tiny, weary, wave lengths,
Tossed asunder from a miniscule blue spec.
Barely vapors biding their time.
Measured by rotations and shadows,
Of objects almost completely unknown.
Do we all suffer because of divine sovereignty?
Or just the universe methodically grinding dust to dust.

Matter
Do the grains of sand really matter
when the tide comes in
Do the autumn leaves really matter
when the winter wind whips relentless
Does the dam really matter
when the levy finally breaks
Do the bricks really matter
when the wrecking Ball is swung
Do the ashes matter
when the fire still rages on
Does six feet of dirt matter
when you lie buried beneath it
Do the screams of souls matter
When faced with the infinite void
Does it really matter

Paths
Knocking, pounding, silence
Pacing feverishly, nothing
Black and white, blue, waiting
Part, parting, departed
The eerie calm seas turn violent
Waves crash, she crashes, all crushed
Gravity pulls heavier and heavier
Legs cave, the unbearable weight
When, how, why, now
Two paths cross, only one remains
The little innocents, so innocent
face reality of love gained, so quickly lost
Planning plans for plans unplanned
Searching for answers for questions unknown
Stuff, stains, sickness, solace
Two bronze keys, nothing else
Phones ringing, ears ringing, head ringing
Peace for what lies ahead
Two paths cross, only one remains

Watch Tower
I stand watch
My enemy, laying siege
To cracked and weathered walls
I stand watch
My prince and muse, stricken and ill
Fighting off invaders within
I stand watch
My princess, so meek and kind
Struggling in her own sickness
I stand watch
My queen, beautiful and tattered
So tired, yet somehow so strong
I stand watch
My kingdom, weary and worn
The very foundations shaking apart
Come fire, come fury, come hell itself
I stand here, braced for impact
I stand here
I stand watch

Door
Others dominating the skyline
Like an ancient fortress of stone
Still ever present and silent
A fixture of mystery
The shape may deviate
and the speed which it opens
may vary with the rap of time
Still ever present and silent
A fixture of mystery
Will today be the day
Maybe tomorrow, the next
or 46 years from 13 minutes past
Still ever present and silent
A fixture of mystery
The day will come
When the keys of eternity
Unlock the last great hasp
The ever present and silent
Fixture of mystery
When I step across that threshold
and forever fall through the final door
I pray with all my strength
My father is there to catch me
My ever present help
in the face of such mystery

The Guff
Surveying the landscape
looking, seeking, searching
This foreign territory
albeit inviting
offers no path, no beacon, no direction
Paddling in a river void of current
Visibility, translucent at best
6 stars follow 2
Through the haze of grey
Into victory or the void
Suspended in mystery
Life in the Guff

No More
acutely aware
yet obtusely insulated
My hands are corruptly sterile
my life, falsely sanitized
Blinded by the speed of static
to the hurt and pain
that lies bleeding
outside my creaking door
With each passing moment
a soul cries out
a soul dies out
Silenced by the silence
I can't go on living
in this bleached, wretched way
One soul cries out
one soul dies out
no more

Grace
Broken into nothing but jagged pieces of pain
Grace stepped in to clear the debris
As the storm of the century destroyed this feeble, fragile ship
Leaving the paper thin sails ripped and tattered, lifeless in the chaos
Grace supplied a heart shaped umbrella
Narrowly escaping the shackles of the valley of death
Only to turn the corner and face the ghosts of the past
Grace spreads its wings of gold and silver to quietly lead the way
A restoration of the condemned
A gift undeserved
A pardon among thieves
The blueprint for love
The environment of peace
The road map to humility

Obscurity
A matter of what matters
In an endless ocean of existence
Will our best thoughts evaporate
Our strongest words discarded
Greatest works forgotten
If ever
Will our very existence be something of substance
or simply become significantly insignificant
While some feverishly toil and others falter
We all struggle to create finite moments
Drowning in an infinity of infinities

Spoon
Others simply slip and tumble
Though fight as they may
Nothing breaks the fall
At times the free fall slows
Only but to give way
Another cliff
Another crack
Another false floor disguising the abyss
While some are born destined to soar
Others are aborted to struggle
Left to sift through the remnants
Of the crumbs fallen from a silver spoon

Hounds
Once barely a sound, a hint of nothing,
Now viciously, their icy breath chills my bones.
Such a naive thought of being immortal,
No matter what decoys or diversions we pretend to spring,
Those bastard hounds always find the trail.
Such blood thirsty, cold blooded killers,
Driven through the abyss of forever,
feeding on every pitifully helpless soul that falls into their path.
We run aimlessly, hide carelessly,
But these cunning predators never stop,
Such a simple vapor on which they follow and selfishly dine.
The howls, near deafening,
Once a mortally tipped scale now becomes eternally balanced,
Does it matter now which ladder rung you futilely stand on?
A single common thread we all fatefully share,
In the end, we are all reduced to nothingness,
By the wolves just outside our door.
