"...you need to bow"

Charlotte,
when souls sing
of the hearse in hades
hades in this beauty-full world,
unwavering strength as that of storms',
I have.
'cause your mustard words
like gentle carresing fingers on piano keys
wooed my faith,
softly,
and I got strong.
The London bridge fell,
yet our love is still purple.
This tide,
I journeyed to lands
where the back sees the front,
yet in this beautiful world;
you whispered some mustard words:
"...you need to bow"
I grumbled like those Israelites,
but got it, later -
at some other times,
we just need to bow....
