The Anxiety Cure
ravens in the air
and the wildflowers beauty
do not be concerned
store the moneybags
and all the endless treasures
where thieves' hands can't reach

Devour
stone deaf and eyeless
quick mouth devours its own words
lacks judgment and sense
hearken and discern
wisdom and understanding
a mute mouth devours
quick mouth devours its own words
lacks judgment and sense
hearken and discern
wisdom and understanding
a mute mouth devours

Morning Mourning
sorrows rise early
deeply mourning the slain lamb
tearful eyes long stare
there lays bloodstained cloth
deep within the hollowed tomb
the slain lamb risen
deeply mourning the slain lamb
tearful eyes long stare
there lays bloodstained cloth
deep within the hollowed tomb
the slain lamb risen

Clock
tick tock goes the clock
old and gray young and vibrant
tick tock stops the clock

tick tock stops the clock

Ribbon
legs run fast and slow
thin line of ribbon in sight
open arms await

King of the Jews
hands casted their lots
his body hung from the tree
with a crown of thorns
his body hung from the tree
with a crown of thorns

Pleasures
the lost were sought out
distance kept from earth's pleasures
eternal pleasures

Anger
anger lashes out
I must refrain from him
and forsake all wrath
I must refrain from him
and forsake all wrath

Memory
death calls to memory
the hand that stole many times
and the mouth that lied
death calls to memory
the stabbings of hurtful words
anger stirs inside
death holds me captive
wrathful vengeance shall be mine
we shall not have life
life calls to memory
the dunking of my sibling
floating in water
lost thought of near loss
deeply cracks my hardened heart
love seeps through slowly
softening my heart
until tears of remorse fall
repentful heart cries
the hand that stole many times
and the mouth that lied
death calls to memory
the stabbings of hurtful words
anger stirs inside
death holds me captive
wrathful vengeance shall be mine
we shall not have life
life calls to memory
the dunking of my sibling
floating in water
lost thought of near loss
deeply cracks my hardened heart
love seeps through slowly
softening my heart
until tears of remorse fall
repentful heart cries

Prayer
on a bended knee
I bow with folded hands held
your presence comforts
