about

Written on the back porch of my folks house in Dexter, Kansas, January 2014, after the midnight hour. In the ethos of John the Baptist.
John 1: 23; Isaiah 40:3; Isaiah 34

lyrics

The wild wind is whistling through the night like an old hymn, that is moaning and mourning the day
The darkess is settling down around the valley like a blanket, over every son of earth as he lay
The misty eyed moon, with her face fixed in festoons, hanging timeless with a reverent repose
Her pale heart is glowing and her visage is bestowing, light on every mans ways and woes

There's a rustling in the lumbering leaves
There's a creaking at the Ancient Door
There's a bristling on the mane of a terrible horse
There's a voice crying out in the wilderness
Make the crooked way straight for the Lord, oh my Lord

An old clock is ticking as it tocks to the tune, of Father Time humming wearily his song
He's added up the hours on a path of dying flowers, they are noble for a moment, then they're gone
He's much older than me, but a child is he, just a yearling to his Maker and his Host
He was made for the grade of the seasons and the motions of all men, he's an ageless ghost

There's a plumb line made to be empty
There's a night creature nestled in the thorns
There's a howling in the wind as the ending is beginning
There's a voice crying out in the wilderness
Make the crooked way straight, for the Lord

Balla Dear Texas

Songs born out of trial and triumph, Balla Dear explores the dichotomy of the human condition, the physical and the spiritual. From deep in the heart of central Arkansas, Balla Dear muses in the medium of Southern Folk, Country Gospel, and Folk Ballad. The themes are evident; peace and solace amidst one's own undoing. Sacrificial love is by far the greatest gift among men. ... more
