Here At Last: Oh Redemption
worn out and ragged faith
unfaithful floor
as it gives way
beneath my illusion
of my sure footing
haven't taken all
from me just yet
my shaken self worth
the floor giving way
my steps sinking ever lower
held up by pure pain
the empty gait pressing on
the shadow more alive
than my hollow being
floating just above this realm
darkness ever whispering
trying to speak my true name
strength not being summoned
I am unknown to all
One who knows me within
fleeting light, flickering
but the darkness not complete
hope screaming out for me
falling upon my deaf ears
my senses dulled ignited my suffering
inside this eye of evil
swirling beneath a whirlpool
ever gulping water, dragging down
i reach for broken dreams
i grasp the hand of an angelic host
Here at last: oh redemption
