Vestiges
9 Years Ago
Innocence forgotten. I think of the war that is myself, guised as man v. man, or man v. God. Have we met the end-times as we mete out and destroy ourselves - is love a blood sport after all? A prince of thieves has stolen my heart determinedly, I flee like a blind sailor on the raging seas Tumult, great like the wind and wave I announced my coming in there, the torrents pummeling truth and lies against the hourglass shattering all that I’ve known, all I becomeAgain the night twists and my path is no longer star driven or incumbent.
Squelched by the days, subdued by the haze and mist of ambiguity I drive myself harder and like the beating rain I feed the earth from my well. At the heart of it, in the seed of every man at the dawn of time and place this ache was born this need and this want for remembrance and burnt offering, primitive savage steel and desires come callingClicking like days and the earth as she rocks on her fragile cradle time is strewn, the wake of the storm and rage leave all spent, all exhumed in a twist of fury and mettle we, this race, we are disaster we are disease and dying, we are the life of the ages. Dark times, infighting and tribal ways man’s fate no longer weighed against good and evil instead purged by the night, by the dark redeemer bandied about like string puppets on the great stage of perversity and shockI’ve surrendered my humanity I watch as we kill and then begin again great calamity of the times, the great denial of this age where does the Maker rain His sovereign purpose? Vestiges of night, shadows of dark purpose demons seek the heart of good, of all that is and in the trenches I am spent. I am blinded in this stage, I seek but no longer find I call out to no great victory or Redeemer
