Surrounded by the dark, Enclosed from your heart The warmth of friendship escapes me. Your rod and your staff- They do not comfort me. I feel the your gift, The weight of your eternal breath, It falls upon my chest as I fall, Fall low, Down to the ground, No longer a soft forest floor, But the hard and grainy Asphalt Of reality. What once comforted Now feels numb: The pressure of your rod Of your staff Of the Tree of Life, They fall upon me. The breath you have given My eternal soul, It feels like A constant Morning Breath. The pain of once Seems morphed into The torment of eternity. What started As mere scratches Has grown large, Slicing through my now paleing skin, Leaving the rivlets of blood Which I so desire. God, Adoni, Ha-Shem, Eternal One, Whatever your name may be, Whatever name you may go by, Your gift feels a curse.

Your Gift
Surrounded by the dark, Enclosed from your heart The warmth of friendship escapes me. Your rod and your staff- They do not comfort me. I feel the your gift, The weight of your eternal breath, It falls upon my chest as I fall, Fall low, Down to the ground, No longer a soft forest floor, But the hard and grainy Asphalt Of reality. What once comforted Now feels numb: The pressure of your rod Of your staff Of the Tree of Life, They fall upon me. The breath you have given My eternal soul, It feels like A constant Morning Breath. The pain of once Seems morphed into The torment of eternity. What started As mere scratches Has grown large, Slicing through my now paleing skin, Leaving the rivlets of blood Which I so desire. God, Adoni, Ha-Shem, Eternal One, Whatever your name may be, Whatever name you may go by, Your gift feels a curse.
