Damp gray morning fog
Lies heavy on the City
Pushing back the sun

Empty your heart of anger
When teaching the young

Upon his tongue
No evil to his friend
In your holy tabernacle

There’s truth in anger
Your words unsheathed to cut me
Open your soul’s shade

Death's Renewal

Death brings us closer
Calls together the scattered
Death renews our bonds

Accept

Accept the future
In all its uncertainties
A gift to open

And I regret the loss of
Its cold clarity

Be still
Before the Lord
Wait patiently for him
Refrain from anger, leave rage
Alone

Facing wars and armies I’m not
