Half-handed Cloud

In You Now, But Still Below

Half-handed Cloud


Show yourself, Lord 
So no one can miss it 
A time is set for appearing 
Some don't live 
But some face you and kiss it 
Not holding back the loud cheering 

A shout from spouts of turn-about 
Throughout the bout your heart held-out 

And holding very near 
Is this elephant of years 
Remembers that a peanut made of styrofoam 
Fell from a leg of pants 
It preserved all the past 
And now it's gonna last 

Your kingdom worked through the earth like leaven 
Rising in a lump of dough 
What remains and what will change in heaven 
In you now but still below 

And lo the skies do cauterize 
March with baton your heart held on 

Last thing that is seen of earth 
Is not the earth at all 
Redemption from the fall 
Within your fireball
