God talk
I Choose Rainbows
:
Shadows of Time

Death be so cruel
Where is the mountain top
I have climbed the heights
And seen the stars
Yet I hide
In the shadows of time
Oh how I mourn that which was
A golden dream
When youth forsook my being
And lust made mockery
The tenets of divine salvation
Am I so shallow
Even unto myself
My time grows short
And I quake to the memories
Of those other days
When life was fresh
And vigor anew
Will there be a morning
A reckoning
Of that which is good
When justice and treasure
Combine graciousness with tenderness
And holiness becomes
My heartfelt blessing
Or will I forever fall prey
To the lust of a flesh warn thin
As my hope of glory
Fades to rot
In an ignoble silence
Of indignation
The last of my being
Swallowed by vermin
And desecrated to hell
