"marbled strain"
Where did this start,
am I golden or,
am I so torn apart,
to be so poor.
The love of GOD,
for what I am that,
a divining rod,
visions matter.
Break the heavens,
shine alabaster,
upon the veins end,
heavens master.
Guide my washed hands,
as you lead them to,
your the promised land,
blessed requite strewn.
