Good Friday

Sat at my window watched the world
Wake up this morning
Purple sky slowly turning golden,
Distant elms so orange
Youd swear theyre burning
All this flowing water
Has got my mind wandering.
Do you ever finally reach
A point of knowing
Or do you just wake up one day
And say, I am going?
What will I tell you
When you ask me why Im crying
Will I point above
At the red tail gracefully soaring
Or down below where its prey
Is quietly trembling?
Two thousand years ago jesus is left there hanging.
Purple sky slowly turning golden.
Cowards at his feet loudly laughing.
Loved ones stumbling homeward
Their words reeling.
Red tail above my head quietly soaring.
Waters turn from ice, creak is roaring.
He says, enough of all this shit I am going.
