O Great Symbols

[yournewhaircut]

How I found grace
I was sitting in place
Watching faces appear
On my bedroom ceiling
Mother Mary appeared
And I believed
Something divine loved me
Now I'd blame the papers
I ate when I was 18

Grace!
Great Grace!
Which magical symbols will draw your face?

How I found fear
When the dream disappeared
That a feline Pharaoh
Made love to me
A skull glowing green
On my wall ogled me
I just closed my eyes
Like it was not there
Now it'd seem just another dream.

Fear!
Great Fear!
Which magical symbols will draw you near?

How I found death
One morning in bed
Daybreak opened my eyes
A small silhouette passed
Toward the window behind me
I yelled at my brother for sneaking
Then I sat up and found
No one was around
My brother was in his room sleeping

Death!
Great Death!
Which magical symbols will draw your breath?

How I found love
When kisses and hugs
From a little girl
Which shamed me at first
Broke past my guard
And my little heart
Found joy in playing
With baby dolls with her
Now we're adults and art lovers

Lover!
Great Lover!
What magical symbols will lead you over?
