Erika Koenig-Workman

Saved from all Distress

Pernicious and ineffable


Lost in the fault lines of earth

I languished in a well dug ditch


The salt flats carried a thrum

Below the waters where clay lay


I affixed to You

It took all my might in the night


Since dark figures haunt in shadows

To lurk in unfamiliar soul places


You have been our Refuge

From Age to Age


A well hidden rampart

Exacting a protection Age to Age


Saved from all Distress


Is the automatic effect born

Within a new day of the eternal now


That’s how you roll

And so I rock with you


Following the song

Counting time


We be the Holy

Sanctified by the Lamb
