I am living in the valley of putrid decay. Hope is black ashes in a smoldering sky. The world? Acid rain, takes the best, leaves the pain. I am withered in darkness, when pervading light shows up to stimulate the auxins in my soul. I stretch for Christ and, I come alive with a life that’s not mine! When He illuminates love, so divine, by sacrifice! My pride, lust, anger covered in fluorescent colors! This mess becomes defined as righteousness! Re-bloomed from the inside, growing out! The radiance of Calvary has elevated life in me!
