Cry
My beloved country
The backlash held in place
Has been let loose
The floodgate opened wide
As the frenzied tumult smiles
And rage has set the stage
A country polarised
Emotion rules the nation
A shower head, a laughing stock
A president, a precedent
Weep
While the world’s asleep
Judgement day will come again
And the cross will be our shame
Cry
My beloved country
Cry

Sleepy
.
Head back, I dozed, eyes closed,
Sun and shade played
On translucent eyelids
Barely visible
Felt, rather than seen
Thru the screen of lashes
Resting on my cheek.
Dust motes dance
Up and down a shaft of light
Then, as it fades,
They too vanish from sight.

Sweet Waters
.
Let Your sweet waters wash over me
Cleansingly, refreshingly,
Rinsing life’s dust and grime away,
Soothing me through yet another day.
Father bathe me in Your light
Holding back the darkest night,
Help me shine for those I love
A sign, a signal from up above.

a bright light shines through the darkness
warms my heart and cossets my soul
i feel you here lord, i feel you here god
your spirit calms me and keeps me whole
my faith grows stronger with each passing day
i will hold on forever through the rain and the storm
i will never let go and will come to no harm

Prisoner in the darkness of my soul,
Invisible chains held me in the blackness of that gaol,
Shadows moved around enclosing walls
Circling smoothly, pressing darkly
Black on black against the light.
.
Spectres, spirits, ghouls flickered in the gloom,
Encroaching back to back around me in the room.
I cried out to God to help me flee,
Escape the evil that I felt surrounding me
And He… and HE was the One who set me free!

When you are neither young nor old
When youth has gone and age not yet arrived
It’s waiting in the shadowed wings of life
To show itself however slowly in the light
Even as day has hours of darkness
Where spirit fails to meet the sun
And the night is so much blacker
With murky patches hiding in the gloom
Remember the sun can’t hide forever
And the clouds will slowly burn away
Shining light will burst the cover
And there will always be a brand new day

Darkness and Light
.
Darkness before the Light
.
Dark clouds obscure the light
Brightest day becomes the blackest night
While we live in this world of dreams
Everything is not what it seems
Way, way beyond the clouds above
The sky is bright with the light of Love
And when we reach that golden land
Then I think we will understand
The meaning of this life on earth
And the reason for our earthly birth

The powers of darkness hold no sway,
Try as they may.
I walk in the Light and sin has no place,
Can’t show its face,
It’s forever erased.
.
I have no fear because You are here.
You walk with me, keep me company,
And shield me from the storm.
There is no harm can touch me now.
I’m out of reach of the devil’s hold
And, truth be told, forever safe
And sheltered from the cold.

When the arms of darkness
Reach out to me
Offering comfort
In the raging sea
Soothing me, seducing me
How easy it would be
To just succumb
In the salty spray
And drift away
