trance figure
peeling and carving away
rigid crusty
dead layers
You transform
the nightmare
into the golden effulgence
of dawn
dissipating
blizzards and glaciers
to translucent
thirst quenching streams
You turn the hairshirt
inside out
allowing the velvet side
to caress
in Your gaze
death is merely holiday
from action
and life
is a staircase to bliss
forged
one
step
at
a
time

morning terrors
hurricane hate
rages and rails
ripping each soul from it's pew
eggshell sky cracks open
to reveal
salivating fangs
manic panic
convulsive chaos
consuming bloodshot eyes
nerves are frayed electric wires
that sizzle, spark, and ignite
an apocalyptic nightmare
in dawns early light
the madness swirling all around
like a well rehearsed dance
can't penetrate the circle
nor draw you in it's trance
you are brave in the master's gaze
safe in the master's arms
blissful in the master's smile
alive in the master's love
