Twist and turn
Beg and plead
Write and think
Read and Heed
Create space
Say a prayer
Take a breath
Make a dare
Stretch out my hands
Open my stubborn heart
Confess the sins I don’t see
Wait again to start
Strain the eyes
Bite the tongue
Listen to silence
Scream…How long!
Realize you’re ignorant
Blame your arrogance
Damn I’m impatient
My hubris is relentless
Resist some more
I can’t be still
Struggle In the darkness
Fight what I feel
Who am I
What am I to do
How long will God
Wrestle with this fool
Holy Spirit help me
In this time of Lent
Don’t let me break
As I am completely bent
There are no distractions
And no where to run
When in the darkness
I’m enveloped by the Son
Exposed and confronted
Leveled and undone
Forty days of mediation
Leaves one desperate and numb
Tempted and tried
Digging deeper
Holding tighter
Until Easter
