Guilt cannot extinguish fear
Tears sear soul's burning red cheeks of shame
Incomplete, we feel and find another to be near
"Off with thier heads!" cried the Queen of Hearts
To tarry, or marry for love, or comfort of money
Does not solve the riddle of life as a quest for truth
Only mars the surface unless one finds completeness
Self bcomes whole even when under the gun, or blade
In His healing ways of willing service and sacrifice
When the axe falls on a swan's graceful, slender neck
"Where is this love then?" she asks in retrospect
An image of wounds healed comes to active minds
Hands stretched out over ripples on water's surface
Has never been enough either, either way, with friend or foe
Crucible, a cup of forgiveness meant to sooth malicious charges
brings miraculous change to the changling who surrenders
Damage done erased for all time, thrown to the bottom of a deep sea
Far away and forgotten now, yes it can be
Gauntlet run amid the fire can heighten expectation's sure fire desire
Holy grail lifted to the lips brings relief of thirst, slackens, then disappears
Desire to heal becomes the sought after prize when eyes have cried enough
Inside heart blood flows to surges through opened channels of chattel's chatter
To pierce the mind's eye with more open-ended questions reveals all answers
Graceful proportions singled out finds an outlet in the service of the King
Enlightenment, meant for a way to find peace outside, and in
Over all the earth, throughout the universe, no disclaimer can ever claim Truth does not rule
The only way to find ourselves in safety is to carry the messages to the top of the hills
Shout it from the mountaintops, rooftops, everywhere we climb, step by step
Shout out the way home in public rather than so privately
Find we are never alone in any of our sufferings
Share a way to share a day, or more with no purchases of any kind
Find substance without substances
Character and personality flaws easier to carrect than one may think
Teach a lesson learned the hard way to help make another's path more simple
Within the self find time for another who must walk the path to the guilateen
To start a new way of life within the sanctity of forgiveness, never forgotten
