Escape the darkness within by taking a leap of faith. |
Near Bloodied hands grasping at mounds of dirt Squinting bloodshot eyes in the dark, straining to see To see some light and love on the path ahead of them And hope and faith, where can they be? Falling over my own muck and mire Running so fast, too fast to think Trying to escape the clawed beast of my desire My eyes water from the smoke filled, chocking air And this time, unlike all the others, there is no escape For my sins have caught up and my consequences are here Gasping for breath I stop and panic becomes my friend I have stopped short and cannot continue For here I stand on the edge of a cliff- the path’s end I gawk down and find that underneath me is the raging sea My fists clench as my heart makes one futile wish To go back in time and erase the existence of me But when all is lost, a single light pierces the dark And a stranger appears beside me on the land He looks at the fire behind us and at the sea below The stretches out his arm and offers his hand I glance back at my death and madness overtakes me No logic could stop my racing heart I grip his hand and we leap off into insanity And for a moment I am overcome by a stab of fear But then as we soar through the air I know that my Saviour is near Grace (Alioc) |
