If we’re being honest, 

the hopelessness here is bearable, 

I ache without losing my bearing, 

The Holy Spirit was kind to 

bring me to sacred realizations, 

of divinity’s plan with the chaos:

That I am loved by God whose 

creeds I’ve always struggled to obey, 

that fresh mercies are given to me 

generously at the place of my poorest indiscretions...

tasting that sweet reason-transcending grace... 


My moral history convicts me to 

spiteful introspections with self 

I am preoccupied with my many many sins 

even at the point of maximum holiness:

where I would have complied with stringent manners,

where I’d speak in tongues like I were 

receiving a second outpouring of Pentecost 

Even there...my sins torment me...


Until I remember that famous Nazarene...

Oh! Until I remember the softness Judah!

My conscience, my motives, my entire person, 

rush for a thorough soaking & washing 

in the blood of the weird King...

(Lol this is that sanctifying grace!)


I feed on that amazing grace, 

Dancing & feasting with angels, 

A sort of church service in the heavenly realms,

Enjoying a beautiful moment with a loving God  

Assuming my place as a passing resident of earth,

My gaze fixed on God’s only begotten Son,

...praying and therefore,

asymptoting to the highest elevation of : 

Hope, faith & love...

(Oh! that chaos-defying grace!)


Waiting for Jesus in bible-inspired busyness, 

Giving to modern Caesars their due, 

 as they lord it over me with insidious intent...

...Daring to witness for Christ

even in hostile spaces such as this...


My stay here on earth 

A heavy burden on the soul,

~ a light momentary affliction...painful affliction..

Its apparent perpetuity...losing its grip over me...
