~Graven Image~
Gone like the sands of time-
Myself of days gone by-
Resurected into brillant light-
That fill the heavenly skies-
Taken and remolded now-
From a piece of mellowed clay-
Finely shaped and folded-
Helping me to find a betterway-
For long ago i rode the train-
Of misery and complacency-
Never knowing where i truly stood-
Soul filled with insufficiency!
Traveling a path that was curved-
And wide...
Today i take a path less traveled-
For i am a spirit renewed-
Never again to unravel-
For it is by the Grace of my God-
That there is a brand new me-
For if it were not for Him- and His Light-
I do not know where i'd be-
Maybe i'd be sailing the ocean blue-
Or a place un-kinder-
Perhaps thrown in the bowels of Hell-
Ah, but what a most divine reminder!
Dedicated: To God
