a poem for lighthouse poetry contest. |
Almost breathless Untied unbound-high in spirits with no way to come down, Inflated elated-no need for God with ears unsound, Isolated, alone-no place to call home, too blind to see. The Holy Spirit made me different, now nowhere to be found, HOW can I again forever be set free? Unspoken words of truth become nothing but lies, Sitting with no passion afraid, a prisoner in disguise, The flavor of iniquity's sweet liquor drowning in need. The Holy Spirit who had put words in me more dead than alive, WHY do I continue to let errant words make me bleed? Unaware, unawake in a daze out of breath, Running on a treadmill, being chased by death, Leg and arms flailing no place do I go. The Holy Spirit no longer guiding I am now deaf, WHAT do I do, does anyone know? Unable disabled crying for reviving grace, No longer familiar with a God who had known my face, Tears are flowing to a false god called money. The Holy Spirit on the outside lost in space, WHO then will I worship when I no longer feel funny? At one time I was labelled a Christian delivered, In time of trial and hardship was ultimately severed, Holy Spirit don't let this be the the destiny I have chosen. Send your whisper my way for in me you take pleasure, COULD this be the day my cold body is unfrozen? |
