midsa pro defunctis

Requiem for the dead. Sometimes you are re born. Maybe he isnt gone after all

 

Midsa pro defunctis

 

Kyrie eleison

Christie eleison

Kyrie eleison

 

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Miserere nobis

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Miserere nobis

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi dona nobis pacem

 

Clouds drift across

A soundless sky

On angels breath

Unbound by desire

They float through our dreams

 

In consequence we are born

Inadequate we die

Some float on angels breath

Some soar with wings of love

Many fall on arrowed desire

 

A soul unburdened

A heart pure to love

A spirit joined in purity

Corrupted by desire

In love sins seed is sown

 

A cloud is pure

Unsoiled uncorrupted

The angels tears condense

In vapour their sorrow

Washes away our sins

 

In finality are we born

Love and loss exist forever

A heart can love beyond our world

On angels wings memories take flight

Sweet comfort floats for the bereaved

 

A canvas black

Behind a panoply of stars

A spirit floats

Slowly spinning

Orbiting a sapphire

 

The jewel is turning

Gold warms the soul

A new life is growing

Rebirth from infinite darkness

As pastel shades soothe the newborn day

 

Sapphire serenity spins

Softly soothing sorrowful souls

Blessed mother born of woman

Dawning her birthing

Her pain in ecstasy born

 

Newborn and helpless

A die lies waiting

Cherubim guard the gates of Eden

For not into torment

But into toil are we born

 

Kyrie elesion (lord have mercy)

Christie elesion (Christ have mercy)

Kyrie elesion (Lord have mercy)

 

 

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Miserere nobis

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Miserere nobis

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi dona nobis pacem

 

Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world have mercy upon us

Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world have mercy upon us

Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world grant us peace.

This is really great Boneman! There's so much to love about it. I thought these lines were excellent:

Some float on angels breath
Some soar with wings of love
Many fall on arrowed desire

It seems to be about people reaching out, but falling short. I also liked:

The jewel is turning
Gold warms the soul
A new life is growing
Rebirth from infinite darkness
As pastel shades soothe the newborn day

This whole poem was really well written and flowed nicely. You are very talented, as always, and I'm once again impressed. Wonderful job!
