darkness captures my breath
in its shadow,
clouding my perceptions
left on plateaus,
damaging thoughts with
piercing arrows.
hunger drowns the passion
in its poverty,
draining my true desires
life is mockery,
starving hope's vision with
world's cruel robbery…
stunning grace captures my breath
in its brightness,
renewing my perceptions
bringing lightness,
transforming my thoughts into
more of His likeness.
love enhances the passion
in its blessing,
releasing my true desires
life refreshing,
flourishing hope's vision with
Christ finessing.
