"My Final Destination"

I sit alone

in a field of shattered dreams
a hollow ground of unspoken grief
Faltering by failed attempts at life
gripping the hard edges of time
Like a razor's violent edge
tunneling a weathered soul
A silence of an ethereal blank stare
Emotions shackled, bleeding and bruised
Lightning crashes, obscuring my senses
Alone in my silent storm
a place where light cannot reach
Drowning in deepest somber
Frightful doubt of living
Flame of hope, dying
Head hung low, tears fall upon my wounds
Maddened by the deep well of longing
Unconscious reckoning within myself
My lips become soundless

Awakening

Celestial beams light the sky
an emergence with the morning dawn
One ray of light, stirring in my heart
Birds singing in superlative song
Out of nowhere, a pious figure
The voice whispering, "I walk with you"

I stand

with arms wide open
Beckoning cries to the heavens
as hardened ground trembles
Shouting in wistful glee
to my God, my Father
He hears my humble plea
recapturing the flame
My heart is warming
His love has set a prisoner free
Delivered by the blood
flowing from the trees
A colorful panorama of hope
setting my soul ablaze
I want to touch the diamond sky
taste the air, breathe sweet life
I have found safe harbor from the storm
Crying a thousand oceans
He wipes my tears dry
Whispering words of comfort in the wind
dancing on a cloud on top of the world
Reaching for the stars, He lifts me up
I rest in the cradle of His peace-

Heaven, my final destination
