Incense and Myrrh - Arch / Matheos

I heard the angels cry in vain

I guess they knew it was time

Time for you to join them

The words are lost in silence

There’s nothing they can do or say to will

Heaven awaits as eyes lie so very still

The hands of time could never fill

The void left so suddenly behind you

Love lies bleeding

It’s sad to know your diamond eyes

They won’t shine upon us anymore

Weeping willow your name engraved

Though seasons change it still remains

Eternal winter will not wane

Through the cold November rain

I will watch over you

Incense and myrrh

Silken red mahogany

Beautifully disfigured

The scent of orchids fills the air

Incense and Myrrh

A candle’s flame unwavering

A choir of the angels, places of so high they sing

Tears rain down, down on me

Incense and Myrrh

Herein lies a mystery

A cradle filled with wonder

Transcends to fatal tragedy

Incense and Myrrh

A vacant room, a diary

Memoirs through the eyes of a child

And the keeper’s broken promises of sanctuary

Shelter me, carry me, pray for me

Then will you scatter me into the stained glass sky

Halo of empathy, shine on me

Bleed for the inner child, like the wild rose it, has wilted away

The candle fades as a part of me has died

Tears rain down, down on me
