we walk the walls in this freak of flesh  along the twists of our visceral mesh  against the powerflow of motionless flood  it's an experience of flesh and blood  i face the wave of this gravity  i face the Beauty in the things i can't see  i face the Weakness that has rendered me strong  i face the fate of my existence head on  ready to Bleed  ready to Feel  ready to Love  without fear  i, i'm alive, am Alive, i'm alive and Awake !  i pray for wisdom in the days of my Youth  i pray for courage in the presence of Truth  i pray for Grace at each approach of the sun  i pray for peace and for the Kingdom to come  i walk the world in this vessel of flesh  inside the twists of this viceral mesh  caught in the powerflow of motionless flood  it's an experience of the flesh and the blood  for all that lives and dies  entails a sacrifice of love  though the earth, the surf, the skies  are gilded with good-byes  be sure - God is in Control  and when the dead leaves fall  for time will fail us all  never fail to remember  the One in whom we move and breathe  and have our being  is the God who's in Control !  how do we die ?  how do we sleep ?  when we're ready to be human  - without fear
