Poem -

Mercy, mercy

Mercy, mercy

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

No matter how many people I have hurt

Regardless of my sins 

That which is brought to the table

The apostles sitting beside one other

Tasting the wine

Breaking the bread

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I say to you in the dark, my killer 

The knife that you brought to me

That you placed into my chest

Brought scars to my body

Emotions to my eyes

When you cut deep inside

Placing me before the Lord

Upon my knees begging

Mercy, Mercy

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lord, I am a beggar in the garden of Gethsemane

Homeless and homeward bound

For these thousand years and more

Searching for who I am

Upon the mount of olives 

Picking the fruit

In the hot sun 

Dying before thee

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

Morning Devon;

I just wrote it, Its kind of weird to be 

on automatic but I think creative writing 

can do that, I have heard others talk 

of automatic pilot. All the best Jai :)

I know exactly what you mean, I wrote one yesterday and a few lifetime lol. I think it's great like the possessive pen has a mind of it's own. I think we can relate it to a dream like state where whatever ideas are flowing quite often in your mind it catches on to that theme and creates a story on it's own. It is pretty cool to see something come to life when staring at a blank title-less paper and you make something magical.

and arriving without much thought 

until the police officer tells you 

Were speeding! OuCh
