Stars sailing on a sea of blue,
As the wind whips their bed of cloth,
Torn by it's own trials, sewn by God's grace
The final night darkens it's fading glory.

I summed up the questions
and the answer was none.
I saw fourteen shifting shadows
beneath the morning sun,
I heard twenty-one guns a ringin'
across the golden plain,
I heard the trumpets blowing,
then I heard the Name.
I heard the gates a slamin'
then I saw the shame.

surpassingly nice.


Stars on our flag
Growing turbulence
Weathered past storms by God's grace
I don't see it weathering this last one that's building up.

crossnote,

we see you have a grasp of the basic national situation.
nations rise and nations fall.
if a man or a community or a nation forsakes God,
what would God do?

I saw seven black widows crossing a rainbow,
The snow was covered with diamonds a shining,
The pining of voices was to loud to cover.
Murderers discovered the skirts of their mothers,
And the brothers were carving shadows for stealing.
The reeling of fishes was quite a large number,
In the slumber and sleeping the swallow was flying,
Lying in the street was the king of the nations.
I saw a celebration of a black widow out the window,
I saw.....

thank you for your words.

we indeed are very big fans of Dylan and his very prophetic poetry.
even as teenagers he touched both of our spirits/hearts.
this piece was written for him.
