Passover (1980)

Passover (1980)

This is a crisis I knew had to come,

Destroying the balance I’d kept.

Doubting, unsettling and turning around,

Wondering what will come next.

Is this the role that you wanted to live?

I was foolish to ask for so much.

Without the protection and infancy’s guard,

It all falls apart at first touch.

Watching the reel as it comes to a close,

Brutally taking its time,

People who change for no reason at all,

It’s happening all of the time.

Can I go on with this train of events?

Disturbing and purging my mind,

Back out of my duties, when all’s said and done,

I know that I’ll lose every time.

Moving along in our God given ways,

Safety is sat by the fire,

Sanctuary from these feverish smiles,

Left with a mark on the door,

Is this the gift that I wanted to give?

Forgive and forget’s what they teach,

Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more,

And watch as they drop by the beach.

This is the crisis I knew had to come,

Destroying the balance I’d kept,

Turning around to the next set of lives,

Wondering what will come next.
