Sanctification is epochal.

Danceline

All the practice wears me down

Because of this there are sores on my feet

Can there be any rest in site

Do we have to go over this routine again

Either I rest now or faint

Failure is not a word I like to use

Good we have a ten minute break

How can they expect more from me

I can do this one more time I am sure

Jumps and leaps boy am I tired

Kicks and splits

Love to dance

Christianity,

Salvation and redemption

It is so much more

Than a saviour on a cross.

Steadfast love forevermore.

Christianity.

WhelanDNonet

Musicality

Trombones and tubas blaring away

as the melody is drowned out.

Trumpets fight for dominance

as drumline try to count.

Our band will be the

First and last sounds

you hear here.

Band is

life.

WhelanDEtheree

Fall

is warmth,

despite cold,

change in stillness.

Hoodies and sweaters

They are our clothes for change

for all to be warm again.

Feeling the heartbeat of the wind

pressed against our worn cheeks and chapped lips.

Coffee and toboggans keeping the warmth.

WhelanDDiamante

Woodwinds

Light, swiftly

trilling, tuning, relaxing

Flutes, saxophones, tubas, trumpets

blaring, buzzing, blowing

Loud, heavy

Brass

WhelanDClerihew

Nikola Tesla

A shocking fella,

Who invented the remote control.

Now it’s easier to listen to rock n’ roll.

WhelanDBlitz

Sound is noise.

Sound is not music.

Music is organized sound.

Music is waves in the air.

Air strips the rocks.

Air moves mountains.

Mountains have been conquered.

Mountains are just hills.

Hills can be blurred away.

Hills can be erased.

Erased are our footsteps in the sand.

Erased is the music on the stand.

Stand against our oppressors.

Stand for what is right.

Right will triumph.

Right will emerge victorious.

Victorious we will be.

Victorious this generation will rise.

Rise or fall we might.

Rise we might not.

Not see the light of tomorrow.

Not fight for the ideas we love.

Love can save this generation.

Love can heal if we let it.

It must be let in.

It has to be free.

Free others from oppression.

Free to chose.

Chose what is right.

Chose who will lead.

Lead us not to temptation.

Lead us not to torment.

Torment we inflict on others.

Torment we cause each other.

Other than love.

Other than righteousness.

Righteousness is justice.

Righteousness is swift.

Swift to end injustice.

Swift to end evil.

Evil is this land.

Evil is it’s inhabitants.

Inhabitants that would choose easy over perseverance.

Inhabitants that would choose evil over greatness.

Greatness is hard work.

Greatness is a hoe and seeds.

Seeds to grow up.

Seeds to mature.

Mature into what?

Mature for whom?

          I
        see
       above
      my head
     sparkling
     lights   of
   bright colors
   Announcing
     Signaling
     Rejoicing
     Sounding
     dreaming
      calling
       to my
       being
      telling
     me that I
    am free of
   oppressions
  can you see
what        they
Have          Said
