the Word and all its surprises

the deafness of our ears

the inevitability of crisis

the lingering lesson of the years


we listen scratching our heads forsaken

in dreams God talks to us in gibberish

we can't even remember when we waken

haunting us until we're finished


the Word and all its surprises

the ignorance of our glory

all our egos rise up to deny this

and make of our lives some ghost story


the Word and all its tears

the lingering lesson of years
