When my eyes examine
The world I live in
Dread, worry and fearful regret
Mindfully barge in
Surrounding me like wolves
I smell their sweaty breath
Their snarling teeth
Threatening with death
Here I look up
From a sheer precipice
Aware of the dangers
Not one fear amiss
Breathing reminders
And cold gusts of wind
Tight apprehension
Crowding within
I stand on a precipice
Alone at the edge
Looking upward
And again at the ledge
Bubbling, building,
stinging inside,
Massacres, blood,
Bodies in the tide.
Somewhere my eyes catch
An awesome hope
As God on His throne
Let's down a rope
I make no tarry
And grab it with force
He pulls me up
And then pulls me close
His voice is like thunder
Speechless I listen
Pointing at my life
The trials all glisten
"I am always near you"
Is all I can hold in my mind
As I am lowered back down
Back into time.
