i am me
My Lord astounds me
be yourself
just don't let Me see it

do not try to please The King
but don't not try either
i act like me
it displeases Your Highness

you lack passion
The Raja demands passion
but He cannot return it
not to you

Your Majesty is a berry-picker
a tree-planter at heart
He cannot be tied down
least of all to you

that mane adorns no lover
only a quitter
He is The Sovereign Coward
afraid of His reflection

Hmmmm I liked this, it has something, something I can't point out, something intriguing. Last stanza was great.

And so one might reply "The Lord is my Shepherd... when I see him trade in his staff for an ax, I will be sure to run, bleating in terror."


Much Love ;)
