DOWN WITH THE WORMS

By -



When I go down within the ground,
and death has found and won me.
And all around me, worms surround,
and wriggle all upon me.

And all my bones, are left to dust,
when I go down with death deep.
And on the journey there, I must,
prepare for my eternity,

And when my breath is lost and slow,
and I go down to deaths sleep.
To rest eternally below,
when worms within me creep.

When I leap from this mortal coil,
and the skies no longer sun me.
Down deep within that darkened soil,
when the sludge becomes me.

When I go down into the mud,
down deep within the cold breath,
of decaying's slime and slugs,
and that deep deep dark called death.

When I go down, deep down below,
when angels dance around me,
where ravens fly the heavens wide,
I'll know that God has found me.

AFLOW IN MILK AND HONEY DRESSING

The gracious sway, the ever pull, by natures play, caressed to full. The motioned clouds, by partnered winds, with grace aloud, from heaven sings. On wings of joy, from skyward glanced, to earth deployed, for creations dance. The lands to fill, for souls resplendence, by God's own will, for Earth's descendants. And beauty, in all which from heaven flows, is by natures duty, to all bestowed. Thus clouds in breeze, as sunlight rays, are, as plants and trees, by grace displayed. And full divine, for all our meeting, is a holy shrine, by natures greeting. In a beating chest, where love holds ground, is a treating to be blessed, by nature bound. And so, to give, her stage, she takes, so that we may live an age, she makes. And her ways, in grace, by God's creation, are for us to taste, for revelation. So when you look for worth above, know you're gifted on earth, by love. And if from plights a liftings saught, know your gift in flight by God is wrought. And nurtured in the ar...

ANGELS' EYES AGAZE

Behold that inky blanket spread, By void of sprinkled rays in slumber. With twinkled sparkles on her bed, Those angels' eyes agaze in number. Behold that realm aglow, love founded. Hope's singing hearth of peaceful rest. Where golden wings aflow unbounded, Beyond that coiled spring called mortalness. Behold that blessed eternal psalm, That promised rest, to Godlight spawned. Perched silvered-white 'pon night-times arm, Upon the spread, with angels' eyes adorned. © 2024 Shoestring Shane www.ShoestringShane.com

THE BARRELS

War, war, when will embittered men no more spray ruin from a steel bore? When the bodies of the poor, for riches gain do paint the floor, it's war, war, war! Run, run, here come the mortars and the bombs, the tanks, the cannons, rolling on, for someone else's foreign Don, who cannot even speak your tongue, so run, run, run. Flee, flee, the canisters are flung your way, the wings of wind will bring today, death on clouds, the gas will spray, as marching bands do drum and play, so flee, flee, flee away! Peace, peace, the barrels cease, when the anger's all released, when the guilt is all appeased, when the guns by blood are greased, the dead can have their peace! Sleep, sleep, when the blame has all been freed, in mercies name, for gloried greed, for foreign gain, our hands shall bleed, and enter in that death down deep, to sleep, sleep, sleep! Rest, rest, let God avenge your hero's death, and place a medal on your chest, for bravery, for valours quest, to keep you in you...
