spiraling downward, with a knowledge of self alone my Beloved captured me from the self made grave my heart longed for an escape and the mystery of what came with death intrigued my curiosity You knew this, You made me offering thee Perfect escape by the only Risen One- You took my hopes and failures, welcoming me daily to the escape only The Lamb can provide- into the warmth of the Son and away with the mystery of the night stars i go, holding hands with Life- finally breathing freely, dying to myself daily.
