Wish
One wish
Two wish
To Surrender
Obsessed illusions
to forget...
Like layers of the self-same onion
Peeled off only in regret.
To let go of the mirror image
To absolve the demon lust
One week, one month,
One year of loathing,
Pooling waters
Turning rust.
Take these words, Lord
Take this vision
spill it in a sink of shame
flush it to the deepest bottom
lead me into
life again.
Stop the moments of pure suffering
give them back like gifts of gold
Smiling now with honour taken
these misgivings
honest Hold.
Take me back to where I came from
unshaped rock and alpine stream
stretch the moonbeams down from heaven
make your Grace
my fondest dream.
Slowly surely, weave with peace now
every wish, desire, and Creed
lift the weight
restore my balance
save me from
my passions
greed.
