Smelling sharp,
Line up in the graveyard.
Throw in your bones.
The pious are the sactified.

Hold the bottle,
Intermittent puddles.
Full of people.
Breathing and suffocating.

Unconvinced thoughts,
Continually misfiring.
That poisonous smell,
That soft ticking.

Pulling me closer,
To the end of the world.
Burn the spires,
Complicated regressions.

Dead mind,
Straight to stone,
Close the door on,
The shadows on the ceiling

A Meditation on Roman's Chapter 3-5

Standing
Before the Judge
Justified by faith.

Standing
Before the altar
Sactified in peace.

Standing
Before the cross
Redeemed and set free.

Standing
Before the tomb
Glorying in the resurrection.

Standing
Before the mercy seat
Covered by the blood of the Lamb.

Standing
Within the sanctuary of His Grace,
Facing the hope of His glory.
