Wishes

Invoke the the orb
to shine upon me new
and never let it say goodnight

let me not strain
for all that I desire
let peace come to me

willingly in the dead of night

celestiele beam
that orbits my heart
dispelling the darkness

captivated by pure light
in awe and wonder
I stare and gaze

and hold you in my palm
but all is illusion
and small am I

beneath your rays

as if passing time
languidly, you stare
back and look out for me

is it too much to ask,
to desire and wish
for the moon?

counter clockwise you
encircle my heart

and you affect the rise
and fall of all my emotions
as easily as you control

the tides of the very
depths and breath
of the oceans

and who can but nought
stand still beneath
your haunting gaze?

for you are my protector
in the darkest part of my day

and if I could but steal the kiss
that would make all wishes
come true

then I would climb the
tallest tree and reach
into the heavenly realms

and seal the promise of deed

The Wishfullness of Imagination

, , , ...

The Wishfullness of Imagination

Beyond the cold damp soil of the grave
lies desire and wishful thinking
that all men crave

Beyond the reach of fearful darkness
lies the peace that beckons
that leaves all men in such accursedness

"Rest in Peace" the stone tablet says
but you are six foot under
of what was once but now portrays

the mortal silence of wishful imagination
and now the judgement
and cold stark realisation

that life is not about wishful thinking
no sugar and spice and all things nice
but into the fiery abyss one is sinking

for the rejection of that simple truth
that can only be found in Christ
gone is the opportunity of youth

gone is the wisdom of age that could have brung
you sweet relief and joyful living
and praises to God you could have sung

So "Rest In Peace" if you think you can
amidst your wishful imagination
and the worship of man
