Romantica

sway
left to right
may I?
You may

fork on the road
how to know? 
dream in the nite
awake not in fright
but dismay
your plan is stay?

hand on the door
"I'll trade you places"
mystery found in darkest spaces

delight at nite, 11:29!
reconciler come
and never to have guessed
so too plunder one

plunder two!
it can't be!?, it's truth.
silence is certain
head not bowed in shame
nothing to say
just to be still and feel 
pain washing wave after wave
 with remains that stay
as every tide goes out

full circle finish after finish
brings sense to senselessness
i see the faith presenting
not graves but open gates
a 3-stranded cord
was with me at the fork?
who knew both paths intersected!

God my breath
Mercy's arm 'round me
you dip me back
blood's all I see

complete and covering

as I rise up
to see my eyes in yours
crazy mercy in my face
healing floods to calloused toes
where You are stays, where I was goes
