Season before us

 





Let me gaze upon you
Comfort your day
Ask for forgiveness
We are on our way

There is a softness of touch
A quiet comfort in feeling this much


Summer breezes
let me slip
from the pain
Hold your hand
as we whisper
his name

Taste hope and pleasant place
Fear and resentment soon will be erased


Enemies lay before me
as I walk away
For in the heart of another
I found a place to stay

No dreams are scattered in hate or regret
I have reached the palace of forget




Talked to the father
of a troubled son
In the idiom of living
Just what have
we become

Wash my hands
But the blood it still comes


Trust one
to other
Walk not
in fear

Love one to the other
Rewards are seldom here


Covet not
your brother
Take not
what he needs

Question not affection of others
Kill greed's burning seed


Spread your
wings and fly
Angels cover
your young sky

Dust is a reminder of
Dove soaring shares the love


Talked to
the father
Held me
in his hand

Allowed by soul
To grieve but comprehend


Empty tears
fall to twain
Craft of ages
still in view remain

Past roses mixed
in thorns on the ground


Passion severs
reality falls
at stations
of the cross

crown of saved waits for me
my brother is not lost


Stop and measure
those happy tears
Wipe a way
the sadness
of your years

Lift up the spirit as you mark the road
Light is out come but heavy your load
