The New Jerusalem (Sunlight Sonatas in lydian A)

[Odin]

I like this part:

"Ready to reveal
The deck of my cards

Putting fate on the table -

Pulling daggers out of hearts"


I like the idea of just putting trust in God/destiny/the divine and doing good...."pulling daggers out of hearts"

Pulling daggers out of hearts is likely a more difficult task than putting fate on the table

No doubt. Reminds me of the "Half-Life of an Autodidact" lyric "40 years to finally wake up, and 9 more to sling the snakes out of you"

Yeah, I do, too. But before you can pull daggers out of hearts, you must first understand what exactly stabbed them in the heart. That can take years.
Unfortunately, wisdom only comes with age... I am a wise fool now (grins large)

No, I look at my own cards

The scream of the butterfly

My friend, we did it!
We reinvented love.
I set with the sun & rose in your blood.

Carry the morning on -

No one can ever take that from us.
No one ever dare to lay hand on our bloody dawn.

Carry the kingdom home –

My fever is gone
All haemorrhagic gold sweated out
Purple & pure the first breath of dawn
The breakthrough of light into the night’s most wanted cocoon
What a trombone moment
What a tomb bone flesh giving grace

I am shivering
I am wide awake

So hear me scream
See these eggshell mind piercing wings
They have a span of a sky
And a lifetime of heaven

I carry the gold boldly
I carry the fool wise

In dusted church window light
I can see your pretty faith
All nine circles of hell still resonate
On top of this climbed mountain

You have walked far
Further than love
And you are walking still
Running another blister to your heart
Pilgrimaging the sky until heaven bleeds

What a steady faith!
What a pretty face!

Still not kissed yet at Jerusalem’s gate –
Let the sun kiss you now!

You carried my dead body through dying graves
Stood at my sickbed with a plague mask so frightening
When the fever was blackest and the blood moon noon high
You spoke to me in psalms
Sprinkled my forehead again and again with anointing daylight

Now carry the sun to glory
Carry my waking sound in your veins
The music is not over yet
The fire is still on to dance

My friend, come and see what we did!
We reinvented love.
You rose with the sun & set in my blood

Call my kingdom yours

That's cool....tried searching for it but only came up with this, which is also pretty cool tho

actually, the butterfly is a symbol of the soul.... And the cry symbolizes its birth or rebirth... I am referring to a wonderful line by Jim Morrison (one of the best lines that literature has to offer if you consider Morrison's lyrics and poems as literature) taken from the following epic and masterpiece song... 




I wrote it for a dear friend of mine. 
It's a true story actually, surreal but true to the bones. 

Thanx for reading and commenting, Odin, and your thumps up. I appreciate it very much.
