Love is in the air
Despite the autumn weather
We are together
Love Is In The Air

Surrounded by Predators
Cornered;
Trapped like prey, surrounded by predators
No way out, nowhere to run.
Such are the words of the lonely poet.
Stuttering with rage
And terror, and panic,
Speech comes haltingly
As the fight continues.
Yet as the end draws nigh,
When all appears lost,
His eyes he raises skyward
In desperation and hope;
And sees the shafts of light
Pouring from behind the clouds
Over distant landscapes,
Enlightening weary souls.
Inspiration from on high
Opens wide the troubled heart
That it may find salvation
In sharing words of comfort.
Heavy rain today
Heavy rain today
Not ready to give up, yet,
Leaves clinging to trees
And the rain came down
And the rain came down
And the wind began to blow
And the leaves turned brown
Martyr
Martyr to the cause
I will speak what’s in my heart
In the name of love
Many people think of the word, martyr as meaning one who sacrifices himself or herself. Yet that concept was a later interpretation. The original meaning of the Greek word, martys, was of one who bears witness to what he knows or has seen. However, it also came to refer to the fact that someone who is truly committed to the truth would be prepared to die for the sake of truth; thus, a martyr.
