psalm 18

Psalm 18


darkness covers this life
in fear
i tremble
cold and naked

blinfolded
many voices scream
tears soak my innocent face

cold darkness
that pierces through naked skin...
shame

the voices,
louder,
bark of profanity
jealous
angry
they increase

inside the chaos
weary
tense
lost and confused
i faint
my heart panics
my mind runs
my spirit,
painful,
turns to Heaven
i cry out...

if such pain exists...
if there is a hell...
there must be a Heaven
i look up
seeing a warm light

the voices
angry
stir
mocking
cold
they caress my skin
the piercing touch of death

broken,
i see their faces
depression
fear
anger
pride

their faces vomit on me
angry,
they poke me
cold,
they touch me

my tears drown my eyes
but at last...

flashes of lightning
the warm light
angry, envelops me
i hold it close
i cling and cry
thunderous
the tempest
tears all the voices
the roots
of despair
thrown into a fire
so heavy it warms my very soul
my nakedness
is covered by the light
that saves my soul...

Jesus
