METAMORPHOSIS

March 2006

Ferocious storm within me

Face down was I

Trembling in mortal fear

A miserable state to be

Hope fleeting

Despondency

Raged beneath my awkward surface

Mired in self destruction

Piercing primary focus

Longing only to sleep

Alive in the biological sense

Yet death gripped my spirit

My faith

Laced with self centered works

Simply going through the motions

Afraid to climb the mountain

Emotionless eyes

Stared blankly at the dreaded dawn

From my dire sweat soaked pillow

Cries of agony

Please save me Lord

From me

My own worst enemy

Painful lessons indeed

For this child of forty seven years

Slow metamorphosis

God’s gentle transformation

Layer by stubborn layer

Saved me from the cyclone

Teach me Father

My will I give to Thee

Selah!
