Beyond the River

I am the voice of a woman

Murmuring  words of dignity

Within the clamor of sirens

Who sing the same sad songs

In a sea of duplicity

So wounded by offenses

These  waters run blood red

I bring untainted tears

To wash away the sorrows

Floating to my soul

To one so beautiful

Beyond the river

Zopheil

I paused to tend my wounded spirit
At the end of a broken heart
Empty of expectation
Then I felt your presence
Shining before me
Oh sweet angel
Of my dreams
You have
Come

Drowning the Beautiful

And they prayed for hope

To heal the wounded masses

Crying in despair

For sins they did not commit

Then the waters washed them clean
