A pain like an avalanche it overtakes your heart!
sin
Breathless. Motionless. Thoughtless.
less
Less because your lungs are designed to breathe life but your current existence is glaciered in
sin
Cold like a polar ice cap
crowned at the very tip of your mountain top
you can no longer see the light
Blinded. Darkness has forgotten that light has come
When a heart feels tortured and held in captivity
you awaken and don’t rise, smothered in yourself – forgotten
When the elderly live life lost among the living
and serpents shed their scales only to be mistaken for angels – forgotten
Darkness
When children create immoral, abominable, villainous acts instead of creating visions and dreams
When evil becomes a synonym for good
“like God” becomes an obsolete portion of a metaphor
When you no longer meet under the cloak of darkness to dip strength from water among the stars
nor turn ancient white pages sprinkled with blood stained ink
Oh darkness, you have forgotten that light has come
Your body no longer curves into a bend that forces you to become an altar for his praise
Fog exchanged panes with the sun, covering her horizon
but his brilliance escapes by freedoms wind to move the unremembered gloom
See, darkness had forgotten that light has come
Did YOU remember to be the LIGHT?
