Journey into the Land of Milk and Honey

Journey into the Land of Milk and Honey

The past bites taken have been bitter

Pills to swallow, and not ever finished.

The pancakes at morn with the syrup

 Are sullied even as the sugar permeates.

But I see the caravan arriving to take

Me home to Glory, my guiding equine

And scores of souls within my heart,

And I love all until the end of my days,

And I'll abscond from this murkiness

Into a land of milk and honey, per Him.

Let there be light to this new day, O' Lord!

Let freedom soar as your doves will glide,

Carrying within their talons Peace in Love,

And I will sing of my Lord praising of Him!

I'd like to rewrite a few wrongs I've made,

And though that's impossible, the soul's 

Renewal shall never be, and I will reach for

My new homeland He always promised me.

I seek my Pax Romani amid each sunrise,

To feel serene, the heart slow amid an ease,

The love of The One who loves all other, and

For all to see for Eternity His promise to thee.

Let me reach deep within, pull out my heart

As I bleed for the pitiful, and I'll pray for you

To see as do I, for though I am a wanderer,

I hear of His call to reach, to touch a troubled

Soul, to dig deep within my soul that giving

Fire as I found my land of milk and honey:

My state of mind and being has liberated me.
