I Stand

I STAND…

God gave me insight and I did not shy away.
I went in and found my life had been self-proclaimed.
My footsteps was not discourage to the discovery of self.
As I entered, my mind was not overwhelmed.
It was as if my intellect was two dimensional.
Therein, I pillared my mental domain.
My confessions was none.
I had lived a rightful life and no wrong had I done.
God fearing, I knew to put my trust in him.
He is my strength and salvation and never misleading.
I became fulfilled with the Holy Spirit.
I spoke in tongue via English.
My skin felt as smooth as a silk cloth.
My eyes liberated shimmering teardrops.
I was not afraid to expose my joy to the world.
Denotation was the impact.
The sun beamed in fortifying my essence.
I realized that my life was a gift.
In the middle of the universe, I stand…
