I dissolved myself into emptiness
Thinking God would love me more Estranged from The Divine Sheltering amidst the graves of my ancestors For centuries before I asked What did I have to prove? There is no shame in darkness Or the abyss that accompanies The path. The splendor of every tear The magnificence of every wound Do not be afraid […]
I saw my own death
Standing there amidst the pines Whose needle like leaves ensconced His powerful stature. Unsure of the path between He and I, I whispered sweet nothings into the ethers Trembling as I tip-toed through the brush Trying to anticipate His every move Undulating sweat pouring forth From my body, Hands clenched in fervent prayer, I drew […]

By grace. An impoverished spirit beset by the incessant questioning as to Whether or not you are a worthy child of God.

We needed it in the light, only we bathed with it […]
