He Ain’t Heavy

Her~

This audience is sure and signs succinct

Of heart and power will tower over man over man

To speak now would lesson the case

An interruption of two threads spun in one direction

Why profess what a mind can bend time into

Him~

Earn the sweet taste of peace or hide and ride a fate

Unless a jest or gesture win you a pause in the outcome

Behave and learn how simple we are

One thousand strong and willed and able

Grand laws and powers of force can judge

No such fears we hear here in the idleness of night

Certainty separates us from ourselves

Her~

Our storied stones boom

To weave élan webs with prosaic rituals

Bathe a path to light by the nerve of our backs

While every ounce and utterance betrayed in oath

Held humble by walls

Styled in a mind ripe to persist a form of form

I too feel locked

And by this atone my league above such souls

And shoulder to stand right by and ever

Him~

If a bright angel finds me I am lucky

As lucky as she that I am weak

The offense is mine, but to want for days is not

I am shrouded by brut yet if trust is bold

Open the gates

I can remind myself what is real in waiting

Ardor besot and all is due in measure

So what have I done to raise the fuss

That patience finds me here an answer

A tumble down the path common in grasping

So wholly liberate the mind beyond being

Weighing what words we speak of ourselves

Too recklessness evokes my deepest parts

Too I will no cause for retreat

Her~

Though unnumbered hardships bind

A pale jewel priceless before an open heart

Reminds of fate, be not that choice

But in will alone, make it be
