" Salvation "............~Diogenes

" Trapped inside my frustration,
held down by insecurities, the walls
of my faith collapse, and I feel your
hand slowly slipping from mine.
Into the darkness I call out your name,
screaming my protests against the
black void that has come between us,
and life's atrocities blind you with their
veil of confusion. My world slipping
with your hand, my stength fading fast,
all I need is your comforting touch,
your reassurance, but the darkness
between us denies me the loving
embrace I so desperately need. I feel
only half a man without your arms
me, a pathetic shadow walking in the crowd.......
For a brief instance I think I hear you calling
my name, and I listen but hear nothing else
but the sounds of my heart screaming
it's fears and doubts, then I feel your
grip on my hand tighten and slowly begin
to pull us together, your voice cutting
through the void, and a tiny ray of light
shines upon my face as I see the hope
in your eyes, the concern and longing
on your face, and you whisper to me,
' Don't worry, everything will be fine ',
and I feel your walls of safety slowly
wrapping around me again....now I may
rest easy in your salvation, and perhaps
forever will indeed find us together........."
