False virtue boasts undying constancy, entrenching roots in soil she did not test. She lifts her shield against the burning sun and shoots her views like arrows from behind the walls that stand against all diff’ring thought. But were not minds designed to grow like trees? To stand as strengthened by the light of truth? […]
Read more "On Changing Minds"Your grace Fell like snowflakes On my dirty heart. Now, as if covered in snow, My heart Is white and clean.
Read more "Justified"The softened light that spills into the air, The scent of coffee rising from your cup Will fade away as we unlock our minds To roam together in the air between— Invisible until our thoughts emerge Like building stones upon each other laid. We watch the walls jump up to greet the sky. We run […]
Read more "A Good Conversation"One word, God spoke, and light blazed forth— The day and night beginning. With words He spread the farthest stars And set the earth to spinning. With words He brought to life the beasts Of earth and sky and sea. But with His hands He shaped the souls Of first humanity. Chorus: Adore the […]

Read more "On a Foggy Morning"The pounds of time weigh down upon this place. The crystal dome is creaking with the strain. The painted sky has fractured to the West. But not forever. The hanging lights still play beneath the trees though everyday the wind will catch another in its path and cast it to the ground. […]
Read more "Not Forever"“I defy the Pope and all his laws. If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause the boy who drives the plough to know more of the scriptures than thou dost.” […]
Read more "The Book and the Ploughboy"The day will come to lay our swords to rest And enter victors to the Light of home, But we are soldiers set on foreign soil. For now, we press our shields against the blows Of evil ranks stretched to horizons all Around. We lift our swords and charge the horde As arrows fly […]
