Concrete Roses


Flashbacks of my life
The good, the bad and the ugly
And when I let Him find me
I allowed the light to enter
From every pore, a blessing is found
Every mineral a curse to humankind
At least that’s what they turned it into
I hold my hands up to the sky
Praising, glorifying the Eternal one
I long to be there
I long to fly
I long to die
If only to have Him near
Oh how I forget
That He’s always near
Blessings in everything
In death, in life
In dark, in light
For everything that is everything
Comes from He
And He is everywhere
In you, in me
In the air we breathe
In the people we meet
The places we see
The things we dream
I stand by you
And you by me
Together we’ll be free
He called me
And I walked away
He called me again
And I ran away
He called me again
And brought me to my knees
He watched as my world
Crumbled around me
He watched as everything fell down on top of me
He watched as it suffocated me
He watched as it drowned me
He watched the swords slice through me
He saw the blood that spilled from me
He watched me cry
Every single night
Into the stars of the night sky
And into the sunrise
He watched me lose everything
And then He helped me find... 
Everything
He made me weak and vulnerable
And then he watched me grow
He nurtured me and fed me
He brought me to life
In a way I’ve never known
He is always here
The only one who never leaves
He gives me exactly what I need
And He’s let me be free
No longer enclosed by the prison of my body
No longer enshrined in my eternal mind
I am the Earth, the wind, the air that I breathe
I am everything
And everything is me.
