Soldiers without Swords

by Steve Quirt for Bob, Greg and Dougie


Warriors are pathways of redemption
    fallen and risen
        we’ll be released from this prison
            forgetting in the cloud of unknowing
                in Worship Together Forever–

Rivers of words never go away, you can't even see them
like make believe empty space filling empty space
     with
     soundless noise
     producing nothing.

and everybody is listening!

not to the fallen hero but to

e m p t y  s p a c e s

behind the sky–

             we walk together
                crossing over heaven's gate
            to where the Master keeps the water flowing
               All we do is pace the wait.

The Hero is born – the fallen and slain are His soldiers…

He is Hidden

His Music has no score, has no key or tone
It is unwritten–but He plays it all alone.

     someday we will hear the song
              the wounded and slain will sing along
    Resting on the sea of broken arrows
                 Resting on the sea of sorrows.
