What I Found
found my guilty conscience resting on the water's edge
Conscience inquired my reasons for being tardy
told my shame, “I’m not yet available for change”
"I won't wait forever to forgive," It responded.
~*~
found my battered soul upon a mountain summit
Soul brought to my attention, “time's a ticking”
I listened to a litany of transgressions,
told my broken character, “this has to wait.”
~*~
found my angry faith in a field of goldenrod
Faith reveals, “I haven’t heard your prayers”
Told my lost religion, “haven’t spoken to heaven in a while”
Faith wept, “Your heart is drowning”
~*~
they found me in a forest, Conscience, Soul, and Faith
all three recounted, “you have obligations you’re ignoring”
told the abandoned trio, “I’m moving on without them”
my bruised spirit confessed, "we will never go away."
