these mortal instruments
these mortal alliances
we all break
we all fall together.
bring your lips to a close
those words you have thrown
those weapons and daggers
that prick and kill
that seek and hurt forever.
bring your children to me
they will be nurtured
they will be straightened, aligned
they won't die
they won't die in my arms.
bring your God to me
teach me the ways
teach me the rules
let me read the scriptures
let me take insight,
let me take flight.
