Empty Palms

Alabaster casts of doubt crumbled down on dawn,
Breaking free my shackled wishes once stolen. Clapped ears were shut ~ doors falling flat, Deaf until she spoke to me ~ moonlit whispers upon the tides. Even further weak, crippled, broken, drunk with concrete Feet, frightened and bound too tight to scratch steps. Giving up an agonizing comfort, a face beckoned my dreams ~ Heaving gasps took my lungs like Icicles exploding into the sun, and Just as fresh as virgin meadows waking. Keep me, I plead, with the eyes of a child naked... Let me be carried into your promised tomorrow, Meeting under the breath of Heaven with hope, Never to stumble blindly with empty palms ~ Open to grasp for anyone, any anything to latch on. Prayer didn't lead you to me, I was too lost to even Quit, trapped inside an endless swamp, armless to swim... Rather it was He who was desperately reaching for me. So His daughter he sent, into a tread through the poison, To grip my heart and release it through the light, Up to the heights that only their love could float, Very much the home from where I plummeted long ago. With His angel against my back, she now lays the X that crosses my past, like two fallen columns of onyx. Yes, infinite days ahead I yearn, protected, with Zero desire to ever return my heart back again. |
