But then there was
A shaking in the ground
It knocked death off his laughing chair
But then there was
A shaking in the ground
It knocked death off his laughing chair
Now the bride, what became of her?
Surely she was confused by the night’s events, after all
She was wed to death, bound for eternity
And now
Well, now she wasn’t sure
A woman in Paris, or somewhere similar,
Perhaps London, in another time
Was came upon by two suitors
The latter less fair in appearance, she chose the former
In favor of his beauty
Neglecting to see the heart behind the smile
The lie hidden in the promise
To have and to hold
Truly, till death would they part
“Where are you off to now?” Darcie’s father asked as she ran up to him, a giddy smile on her face.
“To the western wood, to tend the orchard, as always father.”
“You be careful, I want you around for the harvest.” He said jokingly.
“I promise.” She said as she leaned in close, kissing him on the cheek.
With that, she ran out of the house and into the open farmland. Her hair unfurled in the breeze, each lock flowing freely in the wind. She felt much the same. She was free. She could go wherever she wished, be with whomever she wished. But there was only one she wished to be with. And she knew where he lived.
Whispers
Whispers in the night as
Grace pours down like water
Sweet love as the spring rain
I have had many partners
As I danced across the stage of life
Tapping feet to melody
And swinging to the timely beat
Yet I have yet to find the one who
Makes me complete
I have had many partners
As I danced across the stage of life
The first, his name was pride
Taken breathless for a moment
Held in, strong arms
I am captivated by you
I am in awe of your love
Here, in the quiet place
Where you speak to me again
From your word, in each breath
Of my own, shaking heart
Where you have made your home
I marvel at the thought of it
Imagine where those feet have walked
Imagine where those bones have stood
Imagine who those arms have held
Imagine who those hands have held
Imagine for a moment
All of humanity, stretched out
Like a canvas, or a novel
Like a page in a book to be read
Imagine who has read that page
We have our orders
So steady on,
Steady on
Further, into the depths
All of heaven rejoiced
When the veil was torn in two
All of heaven rejoiced
When the stone, was rolled away
And the King rose in victory!
