Digging one's own grave ...
Hosea 14:4
Divine Promise to Relent from Judgment and to Restore Blessings
4 “I will heal their waywardness
and love them freely,
for My anger will turn away from them.
Constant sorrow in happiness ... Life without a goal
State of heart nor understood ... always on parole
Knitted in togetherness ... being all alone
Blistered by a frozen act ... wishing I was gone
Taking self by the hand ... wandering in a fog
Thinking of where I’ve been ... always being lost
Placing markers on the road ... steadily missing pavement
Carrying empty bags ... filled with deep resentment
Looking up sliding down ... counting stars beneath my feet
Grasping for opportunity ... in my blind defeat
Lurking from a swamp ... while sinking in the mire
and so trying to warm a cold heart ... with my own desire
Light will appear from below... where I keep on digging
a grave made for self ... like a sailboat without the rigging
that floats around aimlessly ... completely out of control
as I set my own direction ... to please my wayward soul
