Lost to me
in this instant,
that I swore a savior
came in,
resplendent,
and obvious.
This was my
first and only
experience.
Everything before
had been
running
and hiding,
screaming
and crying.
Wondering
if there was something more.
Now it is here,
and I must face it.
Atrocity
is handed down.
Father to son,
the bitter poison.
Sometimes,
we have ghosts
in our blood,
and demons in our heads.
Constantly disapproving,
and lurking
on sleepless nights
to devour us.
Before I could
crawl away,
something
cracked me open,
like an egg,
and all that
warm inside
came back to me.
I have never been
like that
before.
Close
to the Creator.
Close to
whatever Love is.
I have never
recreated
the greatest thing
I have ever known.
Humbling.
Amazing.
Save me.
