The Adversary

Grasping at menacing shadows
Hobbled by anger and fear
Tangled in visions that haunt us
Taunting and weaving their webs
Let them taunt and wrap a cocoon
Swaddling us in our wounds
Smoke clearing, leaden wings growing
Embers to glow from the breath
Rapt in the liberty of your snare
Shadowed by an enemy who is not there
Wrapped and bound in threads silken and still
Breaking our skin on the enemy’s shell
Unveiling the reflection; our selves within.
Is this the gift of the challenge?
A prayer for growth out of pain?
Is death a gift for the hopeless?
And life for all who remain?
Open the bliss of the moment
Open the abyss of change
Chains are the weight of our freedom
We who offer struggle, open space
We grasp at the weave of our chrysalis
And may these walls we pierce have strength
A blessing in adversity
From The Adversary’s arms; a Gift.

A Ladder
07:23
|

With every brush against your grace
A lifetime yearning
For every moment of embrace
A candle burning
With every breath of open air
Your name upon me
These veins of lightning, striking Earth
A ladder, rising home.
With every glance upon your face
A mirror watching
With every crash of breaking waves
A flood of memory
These woven scars upon your skin
A solemn path winding
Through every moment of this life
A dream, and nothing more.

Long ago, before time began
We named the stars and knew our births
And kept the spirits close at hand
We have a name, we have a song
And we write our futures
With all the colors in our blood
Now the rainbow’s drained of light
And stories have no home
The birds get lost in pilgrimage
And the trees roam on their roots
We have a name, we have a song
And we write our futures
With all the colors in our blood
We have a name, we have a song
We paint our elders
With all the colors in our blood
We have a name, we have a song
We lead our children
Through all the colors in our blood.
