Reveries and Passions

more tomorrow than today | 9:59 PM |

Up

the razor wind cuts deeply
subliming my skin and all that's within me
veins pumping apathetic blood
with commotions around me, useless worldly flood

the waves of injustice washes ever so close to home
tearing away at the faith, Christ my cornerstone
just wanting to let go, and go with the flow
be like everyone else around me that i know

as my footings begin to slip
the rope of grace caught me at the tip
my grip tightens
adrenaline within me heightens

"Nobody fights lone battles."
The voice inside me rattles...
"My grace is sufficient in your weakness..."
"...give me your hand, I'll teach you meekness."

with one huge heave i went up the cliff
the air so much fresher, as i sniff
the wind not longer piercing, but a gentle breeze
my soul flowing, no longer in eternal freeze

with renewed strength, i vow to fight
shield in hand and Holy Spirit might
though the trek ahead will be filled with fallings
i'll never forget the Voice that saved me, calling

aside: i don't think i can stay "un-sappy" very long...especially after watching this video...
