Unceasing

Keep the vigil.
Lock the doors
Of the heart.

Light a candle.
Say the words.
Fear depart.

Ask for wisdom
To discern
In the dark:

Friend from foe, 
Grace from woe, 
And where to start.

Shepherd

Bless the shepherd who leads his sheep
Through the valley of death, in darkest deep, 
Where enemies never tire, nor sleep, 
And with scornful eyes roam mountains steep, 
Awaiting their chance to strike with fear;
To scatter the flock as doubt draws near.

With blazing heart and vision clear, 
The shepherd speaks, 'Stay true, my dear.'

By flaming staff, the shadows run.
The night is chased, 'Behold the sun!'
A path is lit - The narrow Way.
Not one is lost - Not one shall stray.

Onder

Met vrye wil, 
kies ek verkeerd
in elke oomblik - 
weer gebreek.

Oorbegin, 
met elke asem.
Steek my weg
in Spieƫl se wasem.

Moeggeslaap, 
maar kan nie waak.
Drome maak my deernis vaak.

Wat as ek hier onder bly?
'n Besluit wat bloei,
en 'n Hart wat sny.

Flowing light

A presence that glows as the sunrise,
Gliding with a warm, flowing light;
Easing the hearts of the restless,
Compelling fear, with her touch, to take flight.

Whispered, are the tales of her beauty.
Endless - the reach of her wings.
Faithful, as Spring trailing Winter.
Of her compassion, and love, the soul sings.

Origin

Image contained in seed.
Seed contained in earth.

Dust turns into clay -
Quenching every thirst.

Flesh and breath unite - 
Proceeding from the First.

That which once was death, 
Transformed into a birth.

Empty

Play the chorus.
Taste the sweet.
Look, moving pictures.
Demon meat.

Desperate pleasure.
Empty depths.
Exploring all... 
    except the self.

Words won't be enslaved.
They don't respond to force.
The Antenna's subtle hum
Tingles from the Source.
