lyrics

In what should be cold:
Dead branches reaching for the sky--
And yet heart and home
Call me to return back to the state
From whence I once divided.
All those who fall in line
Will be led by the meek and blind,
But the time is nigh to right
The blight mandated by Time's divide.
Torrents from tepid skies
Leave streaks of rust, like blurring lines
Once drawn to remind of the long, cold night of the soul
Before the light of The Visitation.

In the midst of chaos:
Emboldened by the memory of a smile,
And, in light of days gone,
Forging the path that leads to the things
That I can no longer deny.
All of us who fell in line
Were led to become the meek or blind,
But the time drew nigh to divide and decry,
And deny the result of strife.
Yearly, like harvest time,
Like the first morning honing of an antique scythe,
As a point of pride:
To stride through the riptide, head held high,
Looking forward to The Visitation.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow--
Grains of sand and sprigs of thyme.
Every year upon another:
Cascading implications of a new life.
