On The Doorstep Of Glory
____
O what beauty
Twisting and turning
In the name of self preserving
All to futility
____
O what proximity
All I see is beauty
Your view breeds jealousy
But for the crushing reality
____
O what vitality
Every portion of you dancing
To the song
Creation is providing
Yet looks can be deceiving
Not living
But lying
____
O what legacy
Once flowing now frozen
Every effort now stolen
Your end eerie
____
O what tragedy
To be found dead
On the doorstep
Of all this glory
____
O what warning
How close some of us come
To surrender to the One
May it never be said of me
That I was found dead
On the doorstep of glory
