FAR ABOVE

Send me far above the Earth, Where my heart cannot send it’s screaming words. Where in the light my fear loses its way. Send for them as the King would, for all my thoughts. Arrest them as prisoners to our sovereignty. Cast away as a curse that pain that causes The bleeding in my lungs. Let loose all the words in my mouth, May their bitter flames be put out. For the stirring of the dragon that Is me will surely uncurl his wicked body. His dry scales draw my tears. His words draw thorns from my skin. I had only to flinch to Have agony sent all over my body. I would not worry over your death! I would not miss all that you are! Your dreams as you sleep, appear before me as foolish, sick and vain. If I could I would murder you there, As you lay slumbering, with your despicable Breaths and that silly grin. Your throat would gush the color red. Because you take me from His hand. With your sly words, with your weakness, I let you draw me away. Making me long for the day in this present night. As all things are hidden from me. To know is but to hide my face even more. Causing in my soul a tremor of some Unknown and terrible fright. Was I your slave? To have waited in that cell for your company. To be so low then, as to long for it… But I know now what I did not then. I was king before you. Set up high in the heavens , The center of His eye. There I could catch glimpses of his greatness. Seeing what made His people tremble in terror. A massive power far beyond my own. Who am I? I would ask. To be so favored… Speaking in mysteries from a love I could Not fully understand. I could only grasp I was His son. Before all the wars and endless sins. He covered me and safely Hid me away from my enemies.
