Absolution In The Abyssal Storm

Absolution in a storm
When heaven shattered and hell screamed
Because the dreamer could not relent
And could not find a step left to fall back

I found you there
And made molehill of mountain
To provide sanctuary

The spirit wind howled
For even ghosts could be heard
In such a maelstrom

Was stone your shelter?
Was blanket your shield?
I pray you found comfort
I thank you for not encroaching

How control returns is beyond me
How it broke I will not forget
But the closeness shone a truth
Love is not a choice in such places

Bible between us we spoke
Each masters of our own domain
Each torn apart by that fact
But hearts began to stitch

When you left I could sense
You were better than when you came
Not just some fleeting remedy
But something fundamental

In destructive conflict's conclusion
A true path was found in the shattered glass
Of all the mirrors that once reflected
The only safety we ever knew

It was insufficient
But it is no longer.

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned.

(W)rest Control

Need I say one word? We've tried [that] one already And yet here we are So in silence sleep May your perfect Dream meet you Across the lim line An echo is heard "I do not exist" replied An echo is heard Ink fresh on the page Contracts diverge and collide With you in my arms Intersection stays Written deeper than our code Indelible Mark This turn naught taken That the first might rest at last Finally at peace When looking to (w)rest Remember the lesson learned Fly, fly back to me Nothing gained or lost Nothing is impossible Nothing out of reach

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
