Entering the Womb

LOVE led me to the entrance A darkness I had never known Raised by terror, fear shaped a story That had overtaken and grown ....mental illness When I first saw ahead The very thing LOVE wouldn't allow me to escape I argued with my LORD, til he presented the option I couldn't afford I walked into a dark tunnel to finally face ...trust Step by step I gave words to my assumption As I gathered the last morsel of gumption ...to lift my leg .....terror weighted my ankles ..............."MY LORD, WHAT IF...... Every concern silenced by LOVE Just as trust settled my soul HE wrapped me "criss-cross applesauce" As my broken melted into HIS whole ...together we reign That was ten years ago And I find myself IN a similar place Transformation has changed my stance So that LOVE guides me as I walk with grace ....into the unknown KNOWN There is no longer any fear Like an embryo in the womb I can hear LOVE's voice And HE in me is the LIGHT in every room I will come through Because eternity shows, I'm already out Though all the forces of fear wage war LOVE will not enter into unbelief, fear, or doubt From dark to light The fallen are made right From fear to LOVE Humanity is yielded up ....in unison.
