Shaken

I am shaken by your power

I am rattled by your breath

I have slipped into another realm

Of life and pain and sin

And still I tremble

With bodies hidden and voices pure you rendered my mouth dry

From the laughter through the closing cries

In one second I was transported to another land and time

I cannot know if pain or joy was burning in my eye

In an hour my soul had been removed and another took my hand

Your bodies moved me, your voices touched me

The pain you lived was mine

I want to crawl with you and sing with you and throw my life away

So fierce was your loyalty to each other and yourselves

I was moved

And still I tremble
