Poetry

I've unmasked many facades in my life
Why should they believe
In hiding their facade from me
It is not just the things I know
It is also what I see
When your days are spent
Within this close
Yet distant perspective
Pondering observance
Is an inevitable perception
The consequence of having one's eyes opened
Is the blessing
That you see
I'd not want to be without this faith
Thus the blessing of delivery

Cleansed in sparkling waters
Glistens whispers from above
A soft warm voice to calm your fears
As your ears are unstopped
There is no sudden release
Just because it's a process
Yet the consequence is the blessing
Of the only one we ought fear
Love as sweet as wine
Mingled with repentance and trembling
Harmony like a violin
"Every knee will bow"
"Every tongue will confess"
As He tenders His precious vine
Thank you for my blessed eyes, and ears
"My Sweet Lord"
