Floetry: The Deepest of Love

My vessel has slowly sunken and my perfect flower has wilted away

My dreams have been shattered to shards, and my spirit shaded in grey

I fear there is no life left in me, a walking corpse on the earth’s surface I’ve become

And in my world there is no source of light, only forlorn shadows and all that is glum

I go about my daily duties, pretending that nothing is wrong

I frivol away my best years of life, singing an off-beat song

I sing loudly so that I may block out all thoughts of a sensible nature

I’ve convinced myself this life is mine to live, and Satan promised to cater

I’ve traded the pleasure of a mere few days, for that of eternity

I know that I am wrong, and every single day, it burns in me

I’ve taken all my love, and placed it on the wrong object of desire

My heart had spoken the truth, but I emerged, ever the liar

A dead soul, looking through dead eyes

A long wail, amidst the other cries

The pain, the confusion, the sadness of reality

combined to expose an age-old abnormality

So we had a serious talk, Myself and I...

How do I attain something so seemingly out of my reach?

Which way shall I strive, and who shall I beseech?

It is clear to me, that I was created with a sole purpose to live

Something to grasp on to, when my hold would threaten to give

So I closed my eyes and I breathed. And I opened them ever so slow...

And before me there lay a whole new world with a new, purposeful glow

So I cried in solitude, out of a humbling fear

And at the very same time, I smiled through my tears

I’d found a balance between constant fear and hope

Fear from His wrath, Hope for His reward

Striving to be a worthy servant of my Lord

My eyes now alight, the new window to my soul

Completeness and happiness, beyond even my control

So I was saved, just as the light at the end of the tunnel began to dim

And never have I loved anything so deeply, the way I know I love Him.
