Sway on, my shattered pendulum
Let your hands rest
Weighted and anchored
They're safe in your pockets
The world doesn't need to see the scars
Let fall your story
Its darkness has draped you for too long
Let Love capsize and overflow
He can preserve
He can sustain
Life of real merit
The life of Stephen in his rock-shredded speech
The life of Job in his shattered and shaven praise
Warm hands around the room
Mend out of instinct, out of love
Flowing with time
Synchronized in meter and song
I, too, am a pendulum
I, too, am loved
