Day 15!

Before I get started with today's topic I have to say that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2 were wonderful.  


Ok, today's topic: A Bible verse.


If I'm honest, I'm not super familiar with the Bible. For the record I have the basics pretty much down, but I am by no means the type to have verses picked out here or there...
So instead I'm going to pick a verse from a song - well, actually the whole song.


Disclaimer: No, I am not trying to be profoundly profound, or hipster, or emo or anything like that. I will mention that I discovered this song around my anniversary at the end of May and suddenly in June it became incredibly apropos and I listened to it a lot... And I really like it in general, so there.


"Middle of June"
Noah Gundersen


Time is a cold wind blowing through the leaves
Of a tired old tree I sit beneath.
Where I think about the world and I don't know how, 
What will happen to us now?


And peace is a ladder up to the clouds
That I'm wishing I could climb, but I don't know how.
So would you lend me a hand to the promised land?
Where I'm headed, glory bound.


And it comes and it goes,
Where it's headed no one knows.
And we come and we go, 
All the saints and the liars, sittin' by the fire,
What will happen to us now?


And hatred is a sharp knife held by the blade. 
It's cutting in your palm 'til you feel no pain,
And burnin in your eyes with a righteous rage
'Til the ashes blow away.


And love is a thing that you can't define,
Though you try with all your might through the riddles and rhymes.
But it'll fly you like a kite; it'll throw you to the ground,
But that's the best thing I have found.


And it comes and it goes,
Where it's headed no one knows.
And we come and we go,
Like the winter and the spring
Losing everything just to gain it back again.


And oh, how pretty is the middle of June.
