Here,
in the lambent light
that shines through stained glass windows,
the music of silence
is very near.

The icons
in their corners
hold no wonders . . .
or terrors,
I being a man of many crimes.

Yet, once
there was a girl,
in some distant land,. . .
who told me
of butterflies.

Spring
is in the fields.

Oh you God of hers,
before I go,

feel
an old tiger . . .
kneel.

whats this, but a light shining
through the dark
shines brighter when allowed soul~

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

We're on the same wavelength....I just wrote Judas. Mine's longer, yours is stronger.
