Grave Clothes

Bitter strips of agony
they ripple and ride
stealthily
ravenous
untamed
mapping all your pain
buried deep within the stench of shame
wrecks the sense
making you feel insane
bound tight
too tight
as you seek the light again.
minutus steps are all promised
leaps defeated
eternity unfolds
slowly
ever slowly
to get out of deathly
grave clothes.

Let Go

Let Go

Don't
get confused
by fear
without reason.
Test
the spirit
see the truth.
Don't 
be dispossessed
by falsehood
and doubt
trust
believe
receive.
Stay
rooted
to the truth.
Don't 
lose heart
be faithful
be true.
Stay focused
on the light
chase away
deceptions
of the night.
