I wrote this. It's weird.

I wrote this while I was listenin to Dignan's record, "The Guest."

I got back from Cornerstone a few weeks back and it was spectacular. I loved it and can't wait to go again.

As for this piece, I'd say Brad Hathaway would be proud. :)

Here it is:

“Thunder and Footsteps”

I’m alright tonight
This time I am content
Music takes me away
Transportation to another Place
Time
Space
A smiling face that’s pierced—like my heart
These eternal souls live on
With intensity and love
Incense mixed with heat
Our bodies in love with the beat
Mud and straw binds these hearts together
Bind us together lord
Reach out and touch
Feel
Love is in the air
It makes my body feel throttled
Caresses my hair into a
comfortable
Backward
position
The drum beats my heart
Killing the man I was
This threshold is electric and alive,
Pulsing through the fibers of inhibition
Freedom is in the movement
The blood, sweat, and bruises are always worth it
Primal—Base—Naked—Spirit—
Revelry has that effect on a man’s life
You’d never know what is in me
if only by what you see
Hot fury,
And the wondrous, awesome, incandescent strength and joy of love
Wrappped
In the family fold
The thunder and footsteps still echo in my soul
A blazing sun of a man stands before you
Yet the light does little for this room
I wish the fire would spread on its own
But alas, like most of these things
My life must suffice
These tears of joy will be tears of memory
I will never forget
And neither will heaven itself
In fact,
I’m pretty sure heaven is still trying to catch its breath
