Sacrament & Sacrifice

I carry, I find
I bleed, I cry
I hold, I cope
My eyes are open 
Groping for the rope
Climbed to the top, 
I stoop to taste
            the living sacrament
of birth, of death
The dirt still wet
from my years
           and what they meant

Jesus' Rebellion


Jesus didn't know the
the feeling of rejection
That was an invention
soon after Jerusalem's
      first 1st century fall
It was started by Paul

Jesus didn't know anything
                        but affection
He had the protection
       of his people at the wall
                laying down palms

Jesus didn't know that in
2000 years, lies about him would cause division
Between people's                convictions
      a catastrophic collision
He came with a sword 
                                    so tall

Jesus came to rescue from
complacency's damnation
What else do you call
"Give unto Rome their coin
      but don't forsake G-d's
                             Rebellion?"

Say Hello To Eternity

Mary vast ocean
Born of blessed womb,
             of motherly devotion

To hear you in every gust of wind and watch every flame dance by your door

We know wind and spirit are the same things in 
                       the tongue
Hebrew and Maya

I use my little light 
to light the torch 
and bridge the climes 

to heaven like a rope 
bridge past its prime
Hanging heavy laden 

Footsteps inch by inch
Holding out with hope clinging for dear life

You cut the tension 
in the spine's prime of
life with a knife and 
left me with endless strife

The angels honor us 
for not giving up but 
the sin is to not return

to that blessed womb
You always said you didn't
                         fear death

You were there before
Witness to eternity's temple
That is why the Mother
gave you someone to Serve

Who would give birth 
                     again and again 
A truth and love to 
                               depend on

I will sit in silence to hear
your echos in the
    catacombs of my heart

Say hello to eternity
Where you longed to fly
                and never die

Our dance is forever
sanctioned by our Mother
for She brought us together

Amen
