ME
my hands grasp tight the gates of
heaven
my feet chained to the gates of hell
my eyes toward Godly places seek
this woman’s life needs loves relief.
no amount of tears i shed cool my burning heels.
no days of crying right out loud calm my restless
feet.
my wrists are tied behind my back
my throat wears earthly noose
my fingers dig deep into my palms
as this mind is stayed on Thee.
i’m frozen as if in mid air
or corpse from aged past
i pause and dare not take a breath
beholding gates of wrath.
my voice speaks pleadingly to Him
“i do not need alot to live”
“i do not ask for much”
“i need to know i am so loved,
i quake with passions trust”
i ask to be unchained from hell and loosed from
earthly noose.
i need for now to know i’ve won reprieve from past
mistakes
and for the one i’ve yet to make,
protection from hell’s gate.
i’ve love to give and love to find
i’ve yearnings to fulfill
for life has given me short time to feed this hunger
still.
i’m far too rare to leave behind or bent beyond
repair.
so please unlock these chains on me
and free me from all fear.
