A gunshot sounds off
A crack like thunder through an overcast sky
One heart stops
The hearts of so many others break
Siblings have lost a brother
Parents have lost a son
Children have lost a father
Soldiers have lost a friend
Rain pours on broken ground
Trees whisper in a million sad voices
Mountains so tall and mighty
Stoop down as the world mourns
An individual
Killed in a wave of thousands
Died proudly for love
He is not forgotten
--In memory of all men and women killed in the line of duty.

I Choose
I choose to know
He is the love the world cannot give
I choose to seek
The pathway he has constructed before me
I choose to fall
So he will help me rise
I choose to stand
So I may be humbled by his word
I choose to hurt
And he is hurt
I choose to love
And he is loved
I choose to pray
That I will live and die in his arms
This is for God.

I choose to love
And he is loved
I choose to pray
That I will live and die in his arms
This is for God.

The Assumption
In beautiful choruses, angels sing
A song for honor and love
In a glorious rise, mother to the king
Enlightens skies above
The virgin mother of God's only son
Is lifted up with brand new birth
Of who she is and what she's done:
Given life to to his presence on earth
Lifted up body and soul because
Such purity of intent
In treasure of mortals like she once was
Into heaven this hailed woman is sent.
Happy Assumption of Mary!!! Just went to church and got inspired for this during all the songs we sung in Mary's honor: and for such a special occaison, I resurrected the every-other-line-rhyming, which I said I PROBABLY wasn't going to do. Oh, well, this was a special case.

Brought to Heaven
Broken wings, raging fire
All within a captive heart
I long for freedom from this day
Until we fly again
These chains around me
Apprehending
Keeping me
On broken ground
This shattered peace
Down deep within
Longs just for
A taste of freedom
Something comes to save my heart
So broken into such small pieces
A shining hand unto the daylight
Pulls me out of the depths
A heart fulfilled for all its longing
Finds its taste of satisfaction
Cleansed with fire, truth, and God
Heaven is opened up.
I really have no idea where this came from, so I got no explanation like I usually do. I got religion and and a keyboard, and that's usually all I need on a day like this.
