God Made Me

My brother stands at the end of the line

My children at the breaking wall

The clouds is opening over the earth

The palms a dark and waving wall

And we call back to the old familiar life

Please hide me

My father climbs to the top of the rail

His head above the roaring world

His body burning, his eyes on the waves

And a god below the waterline

And the grim towers along the barrier line

In the cold light of a weakening star

Unchain me

Through the last shower

Of fire wheels in the air

I am life breathed in the radiant lie

God made me
