Tale of the Dragon’s Defeat

Tale of the Dragon’s Defeat
By Wavorly

A letter with no address
Burning a hole with words
Writ’ in frantic distress
Storming my way through night
Gaze set on the light
Worry gripping my chest
Oh, God, no not my love!
She’s no match for his tricks
The games he plays
Stay with me as I ride

Your words may have swayed her before
But I’ll fight to help her ignore
Every word that you say
That masks your intent to betray

In this letter I hold from true beauty untold
Sealed and coated with fear
Love, he’s here for my soul, come You’re my only Hope
I will save you, my dear
Oh, Father, my task I may dread
But as ransom, take me instead
Take heart now, my Son
Fear not for the dragon will not overcome

Your words may have swayed her before
But I died so she could have more
The Life that she now finds in Me
Is the tale of the dragon’s defeat

Behind the Song:
“This song tells the story of Christ in allegory. The knight represents Jesus, the damsel in distress the bride of Christ, humanity. The Dragon of course is the devil. The song is completely representative of God’s salvation of humanity through Christ.” – Wavorly

I absolutely love this song right now. It is passionate. All their very good lyrics (and short stories behind the songs) are available at jesusfreakhideout.com. It’s a very unique cd, and trust me, it grows on you.- Zach

The Morning Sun Inspires

“[This] reminds me again that life is more than clothes and cars and a new flavor of toothpaste, that it is community and creation and beauty and humanity. And I think I am starting to prefer the latter to the former.”

The simple life. I don’t watch tv. I am not attracted to it anymore. I’m thankful for that. One day during the first week of classes here at school I had a chance to sit on a bench and watch the morning sun fall through the clouds. It was beautiful. The clouds lit with that living color, and the sun’s rays visible as it flowed around the clouds. This picture is painted differently for us every single day, and we walk right past it.

In other news, I am temporarily a gimp as of Friday night. My knee just gave out randomly and now it’s swollen and not extremely useful, simply put.  So I’ve been limping to and from my classes, but it’s not too bad. I am starting to miss being able to run, though.

For now, I’ll save whatever else I have for later. I hope you have a good night tonight and a good day tomorrow.

What Am I? Nothing.

Do I want to be here? Not really. Where do I want to be, then? Someplace I feel a bit more less lonely. Where’s that at? Somewhere I might have never seen before. What work will I do? Something that is more fulfilling than what I’ve ever done before. Why am I not fulfilled? I don’t know. Is something missing? It sure feels like it. What is this emptiness I feel, then?.. That is the question.
