unknown tongue

be still my heart
when newness and mystery collide
Your everlasting grace
flooding down from the aqueducts of time
i am slain by thy love
shown pure and unfailing
Jesus
stir the waters so i will rise.
Oh pure and holy light
scatter the darkness
as it bleeds from night
the deep sadness looming around corners of uncertain provinces
(called faith)
in the squaller of infancy
peace my life
beyond the romance of dusty propositions
for the thief is in theorems unlived,
vows unkept,
and leaps unlept.
the groans and yearning of my unknown tongue.
