Need inspiration?

(A lone voice whispers)


I've met you before
You know
When you were young and wild

Before the world corrupted you
And your soul defiled 


I was present when you were born


Just hiding my true form
As I wait in here
In the shadows

Watching you act around and perform

Before you come home
To me

The eternal eyewitness 
Beyond the norm


So 
Live your life

Explore and experience all you can


Before you meet me again
And read after me


My Lord is my guide
I shall not want more
Before I die

He takes me through all doors as he rebuilds me to be whole

For my salvation is his only goal

Temptation shall call and bother me not 

For my Lord 
Regardless of my choice of faith

In who I believe 

Like a divine thought
Shall show me the way
