You, Your, from.

.

How great

Glory

Magnified…

.

You give

You take

.

Joy

.

You grant

You withhold

.

Yet, you have not withheld from me

.

Suffering

.

Pleasure

.

i should not have been able to eek out this gratification…

Yet you allow me

The rain falls

like burning sulfure on my soul

on the evil and the good intent your eye sees all

.

the cloud

the pillar

i am pulled into the desert

the sand fills up the empty places in me

.

sand

.

g**d*** sand.

i scream for you

.

Yet, it is not the screaming you listen to

but the knees

.

the beat of my knees on the floor

this is the knock you respond to

.

on the desert floor

my knees hit the sand

and a cacaphony of rocks tumble down

my alters fall

i become a sacrifice

.

i whisper my song into the sunset

rays scream out “Glory Glory Glory!” 

and sink below the waves of the horizon

.

bestowed

.

Glory bestowed on my undeserving head

Your’s bows to the crown of thorns

cast at your feet

my crown

my crown of thorns

pressed into your brow

.

i dance in your presence

judas 

dancing on the end of a thread

coins tumbling to the floor

.

your tears 

your tears for the broken dream of eternity

.

you created the choreography

the dance to life

yet we hang ourselves

on our words of defiance and distant regret

.

defensive to your shame

.

we shield our eyes

from the glory of your name

.

we grasp for something from our own hands

yet, they are filled with all you have made

.

You grasp

You take hold of me

You shake me

out of my shame

from my name blaming game

.

Your appearing will set the forest of my lies ablaze

.

You welcome me

.

Exaulted

You are lifted up

.

You dance over us

.

You dance over us

and redeem the steps

of your broken sons and daughters

.

You call us

into abundance.

You call 

our feet beautiful.

You call us

into a new dance

no ropes

no chains

no nails.

You call
