Head First
In the pool of life
I jump feet first
Insecurities and transgressions
Blanket my fall yet
Im soaked with joy
Never had I felt
Such
Remarkable gladness
This decimation of sadness
My heart pumping
My thoughts jumping
My pulse thumping
I emerge from the red sea
With realization of my wrong-doings
And the willingness to let it go
And again
I am fine
This perpetual bliss
Forever interrupted by something
Everything
The Lord is on my side
My familiars on my side
Now me
In this bloodied womb of death
I am not yet protruding
But commuting from
This red sea of life
Living as im breathing
But actually living
As Im seeing
I am glad
Stuck in this limbo
Hesitant of this leap
I am resistant to the fall
Acceptance being the obstacle
I can’t change the essence of me
But in good faith
I let go of my inhibitions
And listen to my intuitions
I jump head first
