Ravaged, but, not torn

immersed in subtle light 

I ride the torrent reality

of the world's deceitful guise 


In moments lost and hopeless 

lamenting flesh and life

a small voice still comes calling

to rise above the strife 


Retreating within my silence

I light a flame of truth 

unfurling the sacred paper

enrapturing psalms of birth 


Within a calm surrender

where clarity fills my sight  

He delicately lays a promise

on my spirit with love divine
