I have made a new journal to house my collection of lyrics.

As The Sun Settles

I wrote this today, which is pretty significant because I haven't written anything in months.

As the sun settles down
in the evening time,
the sky is colored in salmon
and steel
like a mind and heart melting into one
over their world.

It's been so long that I've lived my life
like a man looking for a wife
while still sleeping with a whore.

But not anymore.
Yeah, it's over now. It's over now.


The sun settles down.

Moving Along

I had to sacrifice the meter, but here's the next stanza of that poem as it stands now. It will certainly go through substantial revision before it's complete.

Blow that trumpet Angel and watch me rise.
I'm sleeping in my grave; It's time to wake.
The only skies I need are in your eyes.

Up on the grassy hill where the child dies,
pulled apart across a wooden stake,
tug that rope now Honey and watch him rise.

The Root Cause of Apostasy and Liberal Religion

I consider this to be a Divine principle:

When a person has an experience of the Creation which is not in harmony with a religious Doctrine, that person must make a choice. Either they choose that their experience of the Creation is somehow false or they choose that the religious Doctrine is somehow false. One is liberty, the other bondage.

God's Greatest Gifts

The greatest gift God has given us is ignorance because it gives us our will. Without our will we would have no life.

The second is sadness because without it there would be no happiness. Sorrow is the cup that holds our joy (the metaphor belongs to Kahlil Gibran).
