I
I don't really write much poetry or lyrics any more now that I'm not doing the "band thing" in my old age. lol and I'm not even sure if what or how I write would have ever been thought of as "poetic"...I call it "Mind Vomit" (yeah charming name,I know) but that's what it's like for me. I don't think I've ever spent more than 10 minutes writing anything. What comes out,comes out. And much of it is bleak..so I don't share much with the christians I know,unless I know them very well & they understand my heart..so I figured what the heck,this is something I just wrote the other night during one of my up all night listening to my loud neighbors above me fests. Enjoy..or don't 
LOL
ONE
One fine day this thing came to me...
a bright darkness that
kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear.
Come follow me.
For so long I clutched the hand of
fear
pain
shame
and dismay.
Only to realize one day that this creature
this beast that had leveled
my soul to utter ruin
was my heart.
My mind got the best of me
the rest of me
the parts of me I felt that were so unforgivable.
Jesus wept.
Yet I drowned in a river of my own sadness
pulled down in an undertow of regret.
One dark night I ran faster than I'd ever run before...
into outstretched arms that
held me like no other had.
Come walk with me
I so longed to clutch the hand of
love
peace
kindness
and joy.
Now I realize the truth of my being
this reason for living
that had been shrouded from me.
oh,healed heart..
my mind shall no longer get the best of me
the rest of me
the parts of me that his Spirit has renewed.
Jesus smiled.
His forgivness & mercy has pulled me up
from the depths of my sadness and regret.
One new morning...one new day...
to walk with the Son.
One fine day...
this love came to me.
