All grass blades hum hymns.

Styles of closure may
Vary. Commentary, thanks
Be to God, moves on.

Do you when all is said and
Done? Blind is the light.

Pain propels onward.

Museums filled with
Rusty locks. Keys stored away.
The hearts of the rich.

Chance presides over
Loosing and winning. Grace does
Not here interfere.

Ferocity's facts.

To movement in time and save
It from the abyss.

Dear Lord
To you I pray
And hope that you one day,
One evening, not far off
Will smile at me and
Say:
Dear child once gone astray
Come home now newly clothed
In timelessness' array. Obey.
The night gives way to light
Get up and stay.

To say no to Zeus?

No man's land. The fatherland
Then owns the children.

Law's and Poverty's might:
Exasperation.

Bring ease to saints and sinners
In Faust two, act one.

Judge but carry afflictions.
