…waves
…what is this?
why am i here?
i beg often for the blue waves, but these are the colorless version-
these do not glide against me; but rather slam and leave mental bruises-
why have you left me here?
was my descriptive prayer not a descriptive prayer?
when did i become lesser than the next? the ones i see afloat- arms stretched wide in the waves i prayed for- their eyes smile at me father-
am i not fragile?- why do their eyes smile at me?
have i wronged you beyond repair?
why does my celibate life seem lonelier than an unwed room of lust?
do i shame you by asking that?
i am hurting, forgive me-
but what is this?
and why am i still here?
no dream has yet to manifest-
not
even
one-
pain upon pain upon pain-
does the gifted soul disgrace you?
forgive me if i have-
but why is my mind wired this way? if i wave its surrendering flag, will you not welcome me there?
do you not see how gone i am? can you not lessen these waterless waves?
i am scared father-
did this vicious and unfair disease pass to my children?
why did it even find me?
somewhere during someplace of my life, ive done something so wrong- and I don’t know how to right things with a perfect God-
I don’t know how to become worthy of earths temporary blue waves-
the ones that carry you gently to the sand, making the now a glimpse of heaven-
the ones that don’t bruise-
i am beyond the nothingness that i feel-
guide me to the full find of that truth father-
show my children the gold of my indifferent mind-
please grant the rescue abba-
unveil the great testimony-
i love you.
