PINEVERGREEN FOREST

EXCELSIS

Angels on high
Scattered the sky
Painting the clouds
Learning to fly

"Gloria in Excelsis."*

Dodging bullets
Of human deny
Pouring the vessel
That's making us cry.

"Gloria in Excelsis
Deo."*


Seraphims wield
Swords and wings
Cherubims chirp
And croon little things

"Gloria in Excelsis
Deo."

Vibrato wings and
Soprano voices.
Baritone leads and
Tenor choices.
Resounding harps
In climatic choruses.
Magnificent hooks,
Sweet indecipherable,
Sonic noises.

"Excelsis, Deo."


Resounding uplift
Swept up in a gust
Swift in a kick
Soft on the clouds
Slick in a click.


"You never saw me.
First I was there, Now I'm up here."
Gloria in Excelsis,
Deo."

Servants of God
Just like the mortals
Not to be whorshipped
Or given to portals.

"Gloria in Excelsis,
Deo."

"EXCELSIS
EXCELSIS
EXCELSIS!
Deo."
