Pain of Life

Just the thoughts of being posted there

Break my insides in two

Each knock shocks my body

Tears form

As a scream to the heavens

Through the pulsating pain

Opens the clouds

He looks down

Only to feel ashamed

And broken

One last breathe is let out

Of his ravaged body

Darkness falls

As a angry storm

Rolls in

Rain drops feel like bombs

Heavy and bursting

As they hit the ground

Like my tears

Being covered by the rain

I just sit there soaked

and in awe of His love

Scars of Love

My fingers went right through

Your bleeding hole in your hand

Edges are scarred tissue curling over

Flesh ravaged and mended

Your hands are still held out

Even through the blood curdling pain

I fall into your glorious arms

Softness of your white linen garment

feels like a cloud drifting in the breeze

Wounds still don't stop me from asking for help

Your gracious words curl my mouth with joy

And I am Home.

Water Pressure

Even with the sun burning down,

I feel the coldness of the abyss,

the pressure pushing against me,

Inch by inch,

I see the light thousands of feet above,

Slowly paddling to its rays,

Each level I feel my insides settle,

More in place of where they belong,

Feeling the water gradually warm,

But the ice cold feeling still runs to my heart,

Like icicles piercing my arteries,

Pushing to give me life,

All I can hope for is the sun to help beat down on me,

Warming up like a slow boil of water,

Until I see the surface,

All I feel is darkness,

Moving to the light.
