Truth and home, wherever she waits
Lasts as well as trees yearn for the carver
Elegantly whispering from flower to flower
All manner of creature, within her care
From earliest seed to late time’s frost
She laughs and cries from moment to moment
Without missing a key on her harmonious clamour
All would be bereft without her touch
-Alex Reed
Lilac waters
Seven breezes
Oaken Fathers
Follow Jesus
Tepid passion
Wayward tarry
Protection through
The Virgin Mary
– Alex Reed
Thoughts come on nightly, wretched temptations
Learn to step lightly, when dealing with passions
This way and that way the mind does not yield
The heart braced for crash like sword against shield
Remember to love, and have hope, faith for true
Fasting and prayer now seem to make do
When shadows do grow and become as fierce beasts
Transcend the veil and pray til the darts cease
– Alex Reed
