I Almost

I ALMOST –IT’S JUST ALMOST Obsession with obscurity objects-obtruding my offering Friends and families framed in my fairytales-hiding my fears Scared to show the true colors-waiting to be validated and valued by vanity Lost love, rooted in rooms with no windows-lack of wisdom cost me to loss all Wives whispering wishes, wishing wrong words where never sown in sight Now covered in fame and fancy fantasies, facts are now factions to my sight I almost lost my life if it was not for you; I almost lost faith if it was not for your faith I know you love me, please take me back, I almost lost your footsteps of life and love I have become prodigal with your presence-my desires deceived me I have become my cravings, lost the course of life-purpose of living I live in shadows of life covered in pleasure, luxury, and leisure-void soul Truth is now trauma to my spirit because I now live a lie as truth, absent from truth Religious with rituals without relationship or righteousness to relate to: please help Born from fallen generation, searching in dark places, sightless from light-blindness I almost lost my life if it was not for you; I almost lost faith if it was not for your faith I know you love me, please take me back, I almost lost your footsteps of life and love You are the place I call home, you are the joy and peace I hunger for I am now shrinking because I have lost your presence-relocate me back to you Perception perfumed by ignorance, producing pitfalls with self-justifiable-painful Please return me to the well of the creator, drinking fresh waters – refreshing Review my identity, pass the past, projecting present into future-vision restored Broken pieces, broken pot, broken heart, broken life into the potters hands, remaking I almost lost my life if it was not for you; I almost lost faith if it was not for your faith I know you love me, please take me back, I almost lost your footsteps of life and love
