Hymnal
March 19, 2006

Scarce as Art
Fragile as Dreams
Brutal as Hope
Relentless as Love

Whispers whirl with the song of Truth

Proud as Humility
Weak as Strength
Comforting as Misery
Shallow as Hate

Whispers swirl, twirl around me, threads of a web

Quiet as Cacophony
Blessed as Heresy
Damned as Purity
Subtle as Death

Whispers unfurl, curl like snakes, banners of battle breached

And upon the ramparts
I watch
with a tear
in my
eye
