I have stood tall in the eyes of the world

short in the eyes of the master still alive

I have stopped to believe in leave
What will I receive in eternal faith
angels singing in lonely dark corners
who is this it that hangs before me
what is the reason we live only here
thinking and touching unclear thoughts

Question of one becoming three how
difficult to sort mind and condition time

From bitter soul map of sun and light
we escape shallow thoughts of night
mantle praise trophy marks books
sliders in the clay of feet rest sore
direction changes in mid life why no
reaching forward grasping only air

Borderline faith escapes observation
yet in the microscope I find more life

Retort of knowledge only eases me
sadly accepting insignificant place
pushed intelligence to be borderline
taste sinister results from passion die
tangled results silence escape freely
challenged position drops to count

Nature leases for me place to rest
confusion offers solitude an excuse

Shelf fills with unused feelings hide
reality cries from the mask of fit in
known page peels back historical fit
continued please stacks acceptance
each face spins providing best profile
soul is not pleasing a black or white

Voice in the past pulls mental images
forward dances angels on wings seen

From a page left unanswered we leave
wonder still exists for hope is eternal faith
no markers are from open dark corners
salvation seeks only a word from me
stage played as voice we live on here
borderline fills empty slots mixed

Blinded by purity visions only met
singed albatross swings in message

Single passed beam equals sun and light
maiden dances from prism mark night

kindness filters thru altered books

excellence interfaces with last sore
willing touch pulls a resistance of no
could it be we are only stealers of air

Old and new meet in space provided
so slow for me to comprehend place

Role-played in a vacuum of creation
real does it matter place or condition
truly offer more historical value here
wisdom literally dances from brow
tangible face of God touched love
know no other way to exist forever
