"Where Choice Began"
Two sons stood before the throne,
One will serve while other claims his own.
The Chosen humbly bent his knee,
As the rebel fell through agency.
One will serve while other claims his own.
The Chosen humbly bent his knee,
As the rebel fell through agency.
In Paradise, a choice was placed,
Two trees stood in the sacred space;
Freedom given as a warning's told,
This as Eden's story would unfold.
From grief's deep well, new hope is drawn,
Another son to greet the dawn;
And voices rise in holy prayer,
Seeking God's name everywhere.
From garden's gate, they walked alone,
With mortal flesh and sin now known;
Yet in their fall, they learned to rise,
Through sacrifice toward Paradise.
"Generations of Dust"
Brother's blood cries from the ground,
Where jealousy and rage were found;
A mark of mercy on the cursed,
The wanderer bears both blessing and worst.
Where jealousy and rage were found;
A mark of mercy on the cursed,
The wanderer bears both blessing and worst.
Cities rise and hammers ring,
Harps and flutes begin to sing;
Yet violence grows with every art,
As distance widens from God's heart.
From grief's deep well, new hope is drawn,
Another son to greet the dawn;
And voices rise in holy prayer,
Seeking God's name everywhere.
Nine hundred years, then dust returns,
Save one who'd walk where heaven burns;
A drumbeat falls: 'and then he died,
'Till Noah comes to turn the tide.

Poem - "It's yours to choose"
It's yours to choose to do what is right.
Never had plans to force or smite.
This key gift is part of the plan,
by choosing to become more than.
Never had plans to force or smite.
This key gift is part of the plan,
by choosing to become more than.
More than just one that's well behaved
More than what the devil's plan craved.
More than ever your heart desired
More than you just feeling inspired.
The Father's plan was crystal clear.
Yet two different paths we did hear.
Forced to do it only one way
Or allow us to choose what may.
Imagine how we'd be alive
Forced to do the right like a hive.
Sure would be great without a test
No failures to fear, yet could we rest?
Can we know sweet without bitter
Is what Eve would have sent on twitter.
For Adam never knew and chose
to disobey and now he knows.
Better understand Adam's fall
Will help know Christ's part is not small.
His atonement is key to aid,
Us all to become better made.
