earthly sorrow

"seems that I've been held in some dreaming state / a tourist in the waking world, never quite awake"

in another apathetic mood, but perhaps this is a godly kind of apathy

carving into my heart
echoes of the lord's tenacity for the Greater promise

the lord is my shepherd, I shall

not

want

nothing has changed since the tables were turned, yet it feels like it's either nothing changed at all, or everything has changed since then

I rather not delude myself
than live in a blissful bubble for a night, convincing myself nothing changed

only to prick the thin cloth of a facade
& fall into the trenches again

into the receiving arms of the cajoling devil

whispering "how can the lord love you when he takes away the things closest to home"

dragging
me
away
from the Reason which
i gained when I lost

all the things that are not of You,
lord I lift them up

this world has nothing for me

(time has barely done its job of negating pain, but more of jesus & less of me // Abba, I belong to You)
