Today
Peace be with you.

I found God today.

In the abysmal decay of darkness I cried out to him.
My pain was too endless, my soul in such despair,
and I knew I could not die alone.

There in the shattered mother's womb I had lain,
my child eyes full of war and anguish.
What did a whimsical sinner like me have to live for?
(Hope, my heart screamed for in a pleading rhythm.)

In the murky sunlight I had waited;
my naivety so clear to everyone but myself.
I refused to listen when I cried abandonment.
I refused to see when I claimed He'd forgotten.
I refused to speak when I called Him on silence

How foolish I was to believe He would never
find me -- that a damned soul like mine had
been forgotten.

Oh Glory, how the brazen light warms me now --
now when I know He was waiting there for me,
waiting for the day when I'd say, I found God today.
make me forget
how to breathe

leave me with the
taste of your sin
they will lie about you, insult you, hurt you,
betray you, injure  you, set you aflame and
watch you burn. but they will not, shall not,
c a n n o t, destroy  you. because  you, like
R o m e, were built  on ashes, and you, like
a phoenix, know how to rise and resurrect.

<3 Some days I ponder the answer of yes to that. ;)
