Well, I tried

Sat, 09/08/2018 - 03:05 -- Aegis

Biting off too big of a bite for a night

Fending off fear for a formidable fight

Sending off sorrows and for tomorrow's singing days

Crying off cares as the careless lies awake

 

Rhyming with these words that can't justify my end

Satisfying closure with a million different friends

Finding no light in a night full of fear

What's worse than a curse when the certain cliff is sheer?

 

and I am without words.

I am without words.

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it stirs, more like shaken in a circle in your soul

it distances from light inside the middle of your heart

And slowly life is given and the words you start to know

Words of comfort enter, your fear is torn apart

 

You enter into a new realm of uncertainty

Here you only are what you elsewhat can never be

You are realized in sweet seconds with your sanity

You feel as if life's power handed you the key

 

So stop. And breathe. And take the feeling in

It won't stay. It won't go. You recognize again-

The feelings are reeling and your words are empowered by

This light of radiance that is gifted from above the sky

 

You see and beyond the clouds your feet remain on ground

You see the trees and creeping things and all the lost are found

The world is green and deserty and it's all alive to you

Worlds open, no things end, and you see Heaven's view

 

You exhale.

 

.

 

And it's gone.

 

But you still feel near.

And though the world's against you, you feel no fear.

Just close your eyes and count out loud your life up there,

in the air,

as you were...

And know you will become.

That's the beauty of God.
