The Litany

A litany of words flow through my brain

No quiet, no peace

Until I put them to pen

Illusion, reclusion

All noise pollution

A forest of words

I make my way through them

Fire, desire, passion

A maze of words

Demanding satisfaction

A litany of words

Make my head whirl

Speak us sweet Crimsin

You're our girl

Death, darkness and betrayel

Speak my litany

Sweet Crimsin

Prove you are faithful

A desert of words

Water just trickling

Light, love, life

My words battling

To see which will win victory

Light, dark, torn from within

A litany of words

Come at me again and again

Heaven, hell, God and the devil

I'm adrift in limbo

Not knowing which shore to swim to

In the beginning the word was and the word was with God

Choosing my words wisely

Being accountable for each one

So carefullly I wade through this litany

I pray for my indecision

God will forgive me

A whole litany of words flow to mind

Earth, wind, rain and fire

I wonder of our Father's true desires

His words so symbolic

I seek to understand him with my logic

Heart, love and mercy

My Father's words flowing

He hasn't deserted me

My mind quiet for the moment

This litany at an end

Penned by a poet.
