The preacher man was there.
Advising, guiding providing prayer.
He keeps himself hidden away
Wise words from him today.
The better place he beckons me to 
transcendent mythical city for few.
His heaven is closer dragged in. 
Going along he can never win. 

He isn't there 
He is no where
He is strong
He is right

I am weak
I am lost
I am gone
I am here

The preacher man was there.
Listening, wanting, I wouldn't dare. 
He weeps himself locked away,
Battling feelings being prey.
Vulnerable: I want to remain
Earthly world a giant stain.
Preacher lies to save his face
There really is no better place.
