Drenched in Thy Love

~ Drenched in Thy Love ~

My body born heavy

Feeling forsaken

Thrown to the beasts of darkness

Gnawing, devouring all hope

Nightmarish imaginings

Strangling my voice, silencing

Truth

Questions devour this heart

Oh God! Is this life?

Save me! Lift me up!

Fill me to the brim with

The beauty of your Light!

Silencing the lies

Giving trumpets to truth

I fall away from dreams

Landing upon that small space

I Am Home

Impregnating my soul as I breathe out

Inhaling your Love, your Cause, Your Grace

My Spirit floats away into my heart

Heaven was always within

Anticipating the return!

I am drenched in thy love

I am riddled with desire

I am obsessed with memory

Eternity lures like thick sweet honey

Alas, I am One with You

Upon Learning Forgiveness

Upon Learning Forgiveness

Forgiveness forges fires within my heart

Expanding my soul into wondrous flight

Grasping for Heaven with severe intention

Dreaming the hostage is now free

Forgiveness thunderously crashes through my soul

Waves embracing the ragged shores of

A life complicated in simplicity

Opportunity how you have knocked at my heart

Drenching my spirit with the wetness of love

Bleeding into passages unknown

Yet known - scary, dark and gloomy

Forgiveness extending, bursting with light

Brightly seeping beyond chasms of thought

Growing hope and nurturing faith

I awaken in a gasp for air beneath waters of despair

Forgiveness pulls me back from the ledge

Opening vision, seeing fantasies of misery

I’m forgiving the world of all its strife

I’m forgiving me of nebulous dreams

Breathing and living the truth of life

Allowing healing, expanding beyond

The littleness that had me bound

Never

Never

Never do we ask to be

In a place where demons

Are free to rule

With aggression and

Pointed vile words

Never

Never do we beg to feel

The piercing points of

Words meant to kill

One’s spirit

Never

Never are we poised and

And ready to

Discover we are

Loathed and Hated

By those we love

Never

Never are we prepared

To defend our heart’s

Passions and faults

For our heart is who

We are inside

Never

Never are we meant

To shed a million tears

Regretting life

Regretting love

Regretting hope

Regretting faith

Regretting our own 

Existence

Never

My Burdened Heart

Beneath cold skies of night

My heart beats

Grasping to survive

Trying to not drown

In tears

Quietly I slip into velvet

Blackness

Cold air

Caresses my thoughts

I’m suffocating

Loss of hope

Forgotten dreams

Faith disappears

In the morrow

I’m crushed

Again

My burdened heart

Barely beats

My burdened heart

Beats toward

Nothingness

Nothing becomes safer

Than something

Absent moments

Collide with fears

I’ve no strength

Cold skies of night

Dressed in velvet darkness

Have stolen

My hope

My grace

My faith
