A Widsom Riddle

I need this every single day

My lack of this is why I pray

It holds me safely from myself

In between poverty and wealth

I love it as my major find

Its secrets I try to unwind

Its enemy will bend and bind

And keep you wounded, deaf, and blind

It’s worth a fight and worth a blow

A treasure many never know

It has its limits like the rest

But it will help you pass the test

It goes a long way, that’s for sure

It points you to what will endure

Your love for it will love you back

It won’t deceive and won’t attack

Its praise is shouted throughout time

Both throughout pros and throughout rhyme

It’s virtuous by its own will

Its truest form is humble still

"Moving Mountains"

I speak in many tongues of many men
Argue with angels and they always win
But I don’t know the first thing about love
I prophesize and know all mystery
All living things are opened up to me
But I don’t know the first thing about love
Know the first thing about love
I have the keys to open many doors
Give all my possessions to the poor
But I don’t know the first thing about love
I’m moving mountains and have faith in me
Have faith enough to caste them to the sea
But I don’t know the first thing about love
I don’t know the first thing about love
all other things shall fade away
Love stands alone and still holds sway
all other things shall fade away
Into the ground into the grave
I give my body up into the flames
And never once did I deny your name
But I don’t know the first thing about love
I don’t know the first thing about love

Teach Me to Pray

Direct my thoughts outside myself
So i will sit up on the shelf
While on the shelf, let me see
Others in their misery
So i can help them through their pain
Be someone to stand with them in the rain
Another voice to call on high
For justice, love, a better life
Teach me how to see their hearts
That when one dies, another starts
Old hearts of stone turned into flesh
How theirs and Yours will start to mesh
Give me Your love for desperate friends
To seek You on behalf of them
To beg for mercy and for grace
So they might see Your aweseome face
For when our hearts are fixed on You
There's nothing else that we can do
- Castor
