The sun has risen

Happy Easter!

Life and Death

Live, do not die
Die, do not live
Neither is a lie
To God you must give

Live in his love
Live in his light
As the angels above
Stay with Him, fight

Die to yourself
Die unto death
Give away your wealth
Unto final breath

Ending them in chaotic bond
To follow God in faith

Dark Knight pt2

(For part 1)

And down the blade down, swings the knight

The sharpness of breath, my eyes close

His laugh echoed with unchallenged might

But within my heart rebellion rose

A grounded rebel, I knew I could but lose

O brother, dear brother, please hear my voice

My soul started beating with a million hues

And a rumble so silent offered me a choice

Time was still, the knight's grimace stuck

As the subtle thunder's bargain was made

'Start again,' It spoke, 'Clean out your muck

and I will add my blood to your blade.'

My eyes then were opened, my sight very clear

And that enemy mine, his eyes filled with fear

God bless,

>P<
