Bereavement
Moments come and go
With the unpredictable flow
Of love
Joy, Sorrow, discovery, relief
Gain, loss, growth, and grief
....but this....
I can see you standing, there
Right there, in plain sight
My love flowing toward you
In truth and rainbow light
....BAM!
The backlash hit me full force
As your black voice
....spoke
Lies, you are in agreement with lies
Against the very one who willing dies
....daily, so you can live????
I can't fix it, so I walk away
I will not cry, I will pray
Daddy God says I have entered
Bereavement
Housed in the backwoods
Where there is no easement
....to stay connected
Enough, my LORD...I have lost enough
Then light shines on the years
I wanted to know nothing of Mama God
Experiences, lies, disappointment
Led me to believe the Holy Spirit was a fraud
Even after she breathed on me
And allowed me a taste of peace
I walked away without even a thanks
For one moment of release
....from constant torment
Twenty four years of healing and comfort
She was there in my loneliest hour
But I wanted nothing to do with the part of God
Who was responsible for the....POWER
....to destroy
It was only a little while back
That I finally saw her TRUTH, me in her hands
As she looked upon her creation
I began to understand
....she is LOVE
...............too
LOVE always believes, always hopes...............LOVE never fails
I will too
