*Composure*

*Composure*

This is no war

Only the mad belief that the Will of God

Can be attacked and overthrown.

I've seemed to meet and make my strange alliances

on grounds that have no meaning...

I met a mistake -

An error in my self-appraisal

And we joined lies in nothingness..

Two are as meaningless as one or one thousand...

But this journeys end is at a Place of Peace.

Illusions cannot triumph over Truth -

They battle only with themselves

And The Truth stands quietly

Illusions have no place where love abides -

You never loved me -

You lied.

And my forgiveness sweeps away your sin...

Your light grew dim -

not mine

not mine

Your altar fell -

not mine

not mine

Illusion meets Illusion -

Truth;Itself.

And far beyond this senseless sadness -

..Love Shines.

And still,

I'd never leave you frightened

And alone in your temptation

But help you rise above it

And perceive the Light

Of which you are a part.

I'd help you walk clean, redeemed, & happy

Through a world in bitter need

Of its own redemption.

For here is my salvation

And my freedom.
