Hold

Paved

by Walter L. Jones



Trees fill all my thoughts and place me
In a garden of hope and love yet to be

Anger strikes like blood on the water of time
Shallow dreams bent by a man crying wine
Dreams set to be free from the hell seen
Who of you will set me free

Bleed for me wash the trite words of fools
as a man you as the king demon rules
dancing idols they still agree
that's what you get for loving me

Cats scream their fence post melody in night-light
angels find their way to the sense alley fights
can will do a fear of mind lost to hell sent
souls dance in the light of flame bent

Damned rise from the earth and lick the heals of fate
range a place to see all the pain left from a old date
clay feet hold so much in word dealt in books read
verse found in Greek or Hebrew faded skin almost dead

Eden finds the ground sleeping with life dead but sane
tree is the gift of will not death just prolonged pain
words play the rainbow of promise hope there is for us
blood floats on the water seas parted salvation a must

Fright so great He sweats blood and we sleep weary yet to come
as with most of the kin faith is the image played betrayed kiss it is done
story laid in the way carried time is ageless a walk of thirty and thirteen
glad to be the winner but sad to be the reason suffered more than a dream

God stopped to visit and forgive was not home she was alone
Angels took her to a safe place to rest his heavenly home
Glory rides the wave but still blood on the water tried
Eyes cry for the world net cast free souls of those died

A cloud descends and glory shows faith rewarded
Eternal life is mine to but claim all is well
Warm is the kiss of heaven waiting for me
I the man in the Child now see
