The day the earth was quiet

The Day the Earth was quiet

I heard it still

Shrill cries of silence

The silence not silence within

All around all around me the quiet dawn

But inside screaming,

Crying for more to be done.

I can't help but thinking

If only you knew

The depths I've gone to

And would continue to do

The fight I have fought

And the battles I've known

Dragged my heart

Kicking and screaming into this

fray of none

This love, this light

This darkness 

you have sown in me

Does not depart tenderly

It fights for recognition

To be seen and delighted in

Above all to be worshipped

And that's where I fall.

For I am a divine creature

And must worship only

That which holds all 

in great tenderness and strife

That only before 

I will fall.
