Those Days

Those days...
You know those days?
Those days
that stretch into forever and beyond...
those days
when the light is dim
and you have to call on Him
when your shadow
cries for you
groans deep down
in its belly bottom
and sweet release passes untrue
as you knew it would.
But for the grace of God
where would I be?
It is those days
when you cry
"I will fight!"
I will fight
for I will live 
and not die!
And as the shadows pass over
you know,
those days will become your yesterdays...

Grace Untold

Grace Untold

I was trapped in hell
a decade now,
did you not know?
There, the demented fire licked 
at chasm wounds 
tore at softened bones
melting like the liquid
lava river I passed by.

As I clawed my way out
across cracked desert floors,
I lost a few things
but I got back my soul.

From that treacherous escape
to the light
I had to wrestle,
and defeated the demons
of the night.

On shredded legs I ran
like a lightning bolt
thanking God.

One day perhaps,
when I have gotten old
I will find the words to write
of victory won
and grace untold.
