A Bosom's Solace

* Jesus pray for me
* John pray for me

+--------"A Bosom's Solace; John's Thoughts While Reclining  On Jesus' Bosom"

Your chest is so warm right
now, its all I want to know…the
wine, the bread, lamb, herbs,
my brothers’ choral singing.
We recline like sheep finally at ease,
content to stargaze with the Shepherd,
eat grass and nothing more.
But staring at the table lamps, flames
flickering beneath our breath,
my eyes wont dilate for the double vision –
the life I now know and the foreboding one
you say is to come, without you.
I think why don’t you make a deal with death
like Moses did, a hyssop barterer
with the Angel who raises fate’s sword?
But then my ears perk when you offer
us your blood cupped to drink…. Nevermind,
I don’t want to know. Please let me lay here
a little while longer, maybe forever.    

---------------John 13:19-25
Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

---Somewhere Only We Know Lyrics

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
