Dear God,

*A couple of people wanted me to post this a long while ago, but I didn't.. Now I am!)

Such purity, such beauty, such love
Self-sacrifice inside a moment
Care for the one that needs be caring

A history
A pocket-sized novel
Whose back is tested by morphine
Pictures
Free-floating on a wall, in a phone
Looking into the eyes of past captured
A treasure box
Tiny keys, minute clues
That open and re-open a tired mind
An extra layer
Scaly, tough, trapping
A heart that only wants to connect
A long wait
For God's blade to puncture
The terminal to get back to feeling
A breaking
A desire to heal, to make happy
The reality of a long-coming separation
A one-way street
Inability to return
Looking back and tasting salt
A fork
The road with love
And the one of freedom
The hatred
A heart that twisted
A heart tied off from the brain
The bookmark
To pause or to close
Or to look for a new book
A new world
Thrown amidst the unexpierienced
Lost
The cry
Trust, love, pray
Begging for direction
Please help,
In Jesus' name
Amen
