As Years Fall

As years fall from soft rain

where sun beams

a slow yet gentle smile

hidden by grey mass

the dark arrows sting

festering fear and dis ease.

Above all this

You reign on mercy seat

sending armies of strength

to flood fear

with determined chin

and sharp eye

that cuts through settled grey

and soothes wounded sides

raising hope’s truth

of unquenchable love

levelling in real strength

and true beauty.
