Offering

Holy life that you liken to nothing bursts at the seams

All the while stem the tide

I have seen it in my dreams

Here a fount in the desert

It was more than I could be

Human life as a lesson

You will see the mess of me

Hear it there

Feel it swarming underneath

Oh

When love came for me

The blue and salton sea

A thousand lives lived in circles

A planet burning at the seams

Skeletal sand as a lesson that became an offering

River nigh

River light

Sent us burning out to sea

Holy love

If you let it

Never wanted it to be

You and I

You

A lesson

But never offered it to me

Human life gone wild

It was not enough for me

You and I

You and I won't grow

You and I

In our wild

Won't listen

It was rife

It was rife with unholy offerings

It was rife

It was rife with the flowers of deceit
