They whirled around me in the night
Their wands held in the air
I saw the pulsing light about
but couldn't find from where
I tried to move and cover up
But my arms felt like lead
Time stood still nothing was real
except the memories in my head
They took me up somewhere real high
Not a word did they speak
but sent me messages in my mind
that frankly made me weak
Hieroglyphics came floating down
right down into my eyes
they than used my own vocal cords
to teach me of their lives.
I fell in love with them that day
when we met eye to eye
Know the gods are watching us
As they dart across the sky
Dedication
For ET"Saying Goodbye To Love"
By Deborah Sexton
Written For Michele Hamilton
My heart sank in sadness as you walked away
My lips longed to speak and beg you to stay
The anger of your desertion heated my soul
In rage, in silence I helplessly let you go
Hopelessly wanting to hang on to love that was gone
Crying deep inside over love that went wrong
Arms held at my side instead of reaching for you
Overcome in this love and feeling so blue
Knowing this is the end of what I dreamed of
Sobbing in pain and wanting your love
Goodbye to what could have been so true
Goodbye to your love and goodbye to you
( I tried to write a poem for my friend Michele
who committed suicide after her husband divorced her.
This is all I have for now. I plan to improve it.)
Wait ! Oh Wait ! I Trail Fast Behind
By Deborah Sexton
We used to play together
as brothers and sisters do
I loved the time we spent together
and I always loved you
You were a special kind of person
a protector of the weak
And in your strength as my hero
you were gentle, kind and sweet
Your visit here on earth was short
and i often ask God why
Someone with a loving heart
is destined so young to die
I wanted so much to die for you
If it meant you could live.
But God had a different plan
and life wasn't mine to give.
But I find comfort in this
It gives me peace of mind
Wait ! Oh Wait ! My Brother
For I trail fast behind!

"Christ"
By Deborah Sexton
Christ Is My Saviour
He died for me
Nail scars in the palms of his hands
He carried the cross
Our burdens to bare
Gave his life for you and for me
Hit with a whip
Scourged by his own
That we could be saved from our sins
He's God's only son
Symbol of the Lamb
Slaughtered by those that he loves
The object of jokes
And blasphemy too
By the evil ones here on this earth
He sits on his throne
Awaiting the day
He'll gather those who live by His word
"Barbarians Loom"
By Deborah Sexton
Taken by those so full of hate
In sly secrecy they loom
Barbarians have sealed their fate
Beckoning them to their doom
Is this a sign of the end of days
Spoken of so long ago
Of dark shadowy infinite ways
while feeding their lustful egos
We watch helpless as they are led
to chambers yet unknown
Barbarians waiting to behead
anyone who is not their own
Innocent blood is shed for what ?
With broken hearts we cry aloud
With prayers that come to naught
incased in death's shroud
The soulless ones will be found
and taken to their grave
You'll know when you hear the sound
Freedom rings in the land of the brave
Dedication
In Memory Of Those Killed Alone In Iraq
"Jerusalem"
As He spoke to the lost
Please come unto me, I'll pay the cost
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
What makes you thus so
Thou who hast killed the Prophets of Old
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I heard him once more
as he pleaded to us, please open the door
The night is far spent
and the day is at hand
Look only to me for the promised land
There can't be a gain
But by a loss
I am the one to carry your cross.
Open your hearts
and please let me in
I am the one to cover your sin.
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I still heard his cries
They shut him out and closed their eyes
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I heard myself say
How can you turn God's son away?
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
I'll go in your place
For I long to behold God face to face
