Late Moonrise with Timeslide Fireflies

Words (James Watkins)

There are words above all others-
that fix themselves like stars-
bright beacons in the darkness-
lights hidden in the heart.

To stand alone like armor
against the tides of life-
in bold array of power-
small armies clothed in might.

As seeds that fall on watered ground-
form fertile flowing fields-
grow gentle guides in patience pruned
with perfect plural yields.

Established on foundations strong-
bold bulwarks built to last-
against the rule of raging time-
eternally recast.

Triumphant- time-transcendent-
translucent, touched and twirled-
the truth unbound and glorious-
runs rampant through the world.

To conquer mountains standing tall
across the pilgrimed path.
And bring to birth the vision small-
the unseen to our grasp.

And leaving doubt behind us-
chaff driven by the wind-
each enemy of hope and faith-
unchallenged to an end.

Now standing hard behind us-
there thronged by secret thralls-
authority and mercy meet-
beyond the cloistered walls.

To loose the power petrified,
by fear’s unyielding grip.
Torn from years of solitude-
a single, silent trip.

Bought before on battlegrounds
beyond the mortal veil-
pursued by death- prevailing -
through ancient rights assailed.

Passed from grave to live again-
new formed a narrow path.
Within the reach of every man-
a gateway firm and fast.

Now brought to bear the tidings glad-
entrenched in solid ground-
to waking realms of glory-
a kingdom newly found.

Where promises now harvested,
join late and early rain-
appearing at the altar bold-
the circumstances plain.

To stand behind each spoken word-
against the darkened lie-
that proudly boasts against us-
before an open sky.

And crushing all resistance-
bring victories large and small-
to every realm of being-
delivered from the fall.

Extending out beyond ourselves
we yield to greater need-
To find that loss, in giving,
Makes every word-a seed.
