[hometext] => Sometimes the oddest or most horrible thing can be your protection and salvation. This is a Pantoum just like The True Canvas(Posted but not mentioned as Pantoum style)
[bodytext] => A tear on lips of crimson life Crystal tinted blue in peaceful surrender A pooling of crusting liquid Tranquil as the crouching doom stands by Crystal tinted blue in peceful surrender Grasping at nothing but holding all Tranquil as the crouching doom stands by Watching the absence of movement, no dispair Grasping at nothing but holding all The world in one fading hand Watching the absence of movement, no dispair No struggle as wholly letting go The world in one fading hand Open for all to gaze upon No struggle as wholly letting go The world lies in cold numbness Open for all to gaze upon Shivering in wait to meet the end The world lies in cold numbness As the clamy flesh envelopes Shivering in wait to meet the end Certain of predator to come As the clamy flesh envelopes Protected by relaxed passing Certain of predator to come Unnoticed as cloaked in rotting death Protected by relaxed passing None to help, none to care, yet no harm Unnoticed as cloaked in rotting death Isolated from all but own, alone None to help, none to care, yet no harm A separated race of life, for eternity Isolated from all but own, alone A pooling of crusting liquid A separated race of life, for eternity A tear on lips of crimson life Christ is protecting us in his tortured, dead hands. We are the tear that was cleared of sin and isolated from harm, as long as we accept the Lord as our saviour.
