the fuse, pt. 2

you were born in terms with the lion
the suns beating fiercely and showing your sign
a fiery fierceness a purring feline
you're nestled there in his heart and mine

deep in the river I've lost my sting
but I skulk in cool darkness just pondering things
grasping half-hearted at each passing minute
never all out of it, never quite in it

the boy in the moon with his disc-like head
does not see how easily we are led
how the lion lays down with the tottering lamb
how he precludes all the things that "I" "am"

how taut is stretched our little life's cord
how completely abandoned we feel by our Lord
how the river of love is galaxy-sized
how we drink together and lay down beside

he doesn't know you've walked a mile in my shoes
but he'll feel the same blues as when we feel the blues
if you look for a thread you will find all the clues
how heaven and earth came to pass at the fuse

AustinMama operates on a shoestring budget, which is often untied causing us to trip a lot.  Our noses could probably use a good wiping, too.  But we are decent people who will never be too proud to accept charitable donations to our cause.  We promise.
