WHISPER YOUR FAITH

Whisper your faith, in dark, secret fear

have me no longer of a feigned innocence

then should drop each shape to freeze and adhere

crystal and fine, would dispel all pretense

though soon once again, beneath dying lights

we'll be followers to a cadence that pervades our own night

through a once shapeless time, we'll forge discrete bounds

and proclaim the new plans in synthetic sounds

and then further on, a mass unapart

past the charred, fallen trees, past all that would cling

we will reach far with zeal and then with more cares

to decipher arcane symbols, then describe all our prayers
