Me, in the Biblical sense. |
I am neither the light from the east Nor the darkness from the west Rather I am the encroachment and the retraction I am neither the snow storm blinding white Nor the fire raging through the forest Rather I am a single ember dancing on a cold winter sky 'Tis in the darkness of time The spirit of song The wellness of the sick that I am found Lending peace and comfort Spreading heartache and pain Wandering the wind shaped plains Haunting the weather worn peaks of humanity I am in fact humanity I am its darkness, its light Everything between I am not the lamb or the wolf I am the lamb dressed as the wolf The wolf dressed as the lamb I am the union of good and evil The burden of evil escaping from good These things I will be and have always been This is not who I wish to be I wish to be free from the pain of want and pride Free to trust wholly in one greater than myself Free to be greater than myself I am nothing and everything Everything and nothing I am the lost searching for the found The found going back to look for the lost A contradiction of what is and what was and what will be I am the saint's sinner The sinner's saint The man's man God's child Remember me not for who I was Rather for whom I have became Freedom, love and victory Christian |
