Gospel’s Ransom

By Chad Hollis

I took your word as if it were gospel
Pressing my ear against the whispers so sweet
You came softly there within the ghost
For once, peace
Resolution for the damned
I bear the marks that have been beaten in me
From a world with love
I wear my scars like a soldier
and I speak of the prophecies
Here within the darkness
No one will ever know me
How could they?
I only offer what they want to see
But you, YOU with the Raven’s Eyes!I
Oh, you see me
Stripped down
Naked
Shaking
and forsaken
You know me like no other
I offer you my soul to peruse
See me for what I am
just a man
finding realities in dreams
finding beauty behind words
finding meaning in distances
Did you notice that I’m bleeding?
Images that stain the mind (can leave you blind)
Place your hand on my chest
The power to heal this beaten heart
Lies in the touch
You can hold my words for ransom
I’ll pay no fee
For my words are given freely
To fall from dying lips
