The Shrines We Are

Thunderous roiling, tumbling, boiling, churning, burning Love misplaced, And the rage they saw the side of Janus as he turns his face to the past, Oh the unrequited Love shadows grim, dark, foreboding future that will ever last, I am thunder you are showers loves lost-- a yearning now takes its place The timelines the markers birth to death and grave Clear as day we saw the stones that marked a path our way Life will show us what a man can do-- and what he can endure along his lonely stay Man's raison d être to seek Unity--One Love to divert away the pain I come to worship in your name I blow East you Blow West Ah when reason fails The devil helps to blame That life's gone that part all the best And splintered bones and dust our future hails
