    The Following

     Your words fall thundering like rain
    your brows furrow like our storm clouds
    as the merciful nails of the cross of pain
    your words crucify my dumb soul aloud

    O! let the whip sing upon my weak hide
    its searing symphony may hide my shame
    though naked am veiled in pyrrhic pride
    crested in deep scars and a dying name

    O! happy tears in jewelled streaks
    adorns my cheeks with sparkling sighs
    hard lessons bless the path of the meek
    following upon your heels treading on high

    Your words whistle gently by as breeze
    your brows brighten like a summer day
    as dew rests on a rose in blissful ease
    my heart at peace seeks your narrow way
    No longer a child I cast away my fears
    knowing in your lead there will be no tears
