Prayer For the Faithless

We'll always have our sacred death In turn you'll blink the time away We'll always have our sacred death This time you'll find it's ticked away A benediction for a carbon emission waste This time round you ran with such haste To find yourself in the middle of nowhere Where you ask, think and then go there The illusory grasp you have on God fleeting Leaving, I hear you calling out and body Bloody heart, torn apart, yet still beating Bleeding from a small hole, simple to feel Fill you up to the brim of your cup Yet you cannot taste it, you can only drink I feel for you as the rocks tied corrupt I feel for you as you begin to sink Climb the ladder back from there This I promise, this I swear I'll pray for you at night May you find solace from your fright He opens doors, he opens hearts You just have to have one I'll keep praying as a start You keep beating, breathing, no one.

Maybe we are our own worst enemy, maybe we are truly lost and refuse to be led. Your last stanza is powerful and deep; lots to contemplate. Hope all is well with you Tim. Love Elizabeth

Anne Lise, thank you very much for commenting. I just want to say that this is more about God and the need for people to find him than anything, I wanted that message to come through :).

How many times I wanted to be or go somewhere and found I just couldn't. So many things in the way, too many illusions that dampened the dream and and so many times that I got in the way. This reminds me of the fleeting moments we lose as time ticks away. Quite an intense write Tim, it has a subtle message that reaches me! Love, Elizabeth

Time flees so fast we are in danger if we do not heed today. May you continue in light.
