Deep

Slowly going deeper

Looking into the things that have formed me in the past

Trying to get passed my past

This weather forecast predicts rain

As the dams of my eyes break

The floods come rushing

Looking for the revelation

The opportunity to claw my way up

As the earth keeps falling back to fill the hole

Sky turns a brilliant blue

Birds chirp their enthusiasm at my attempt to come free

Free from the bondage

No more shackles

No more chains

No more bondage

I am free

Standing atop the ground

Looking at the pit which I once called my home

I realize the journey hasn't even fully begun

Each step leads to another step

Roadblocks may come to hinder progression

But the lesson is not in regression

It's in getting passed those obstacles

With your eyes clear and steady on the prize

On the goal

Jesus.

We keep walking to follow you

You don't punish us for falling

You embrace us when we get up

So easy to sit and wallow

That leads to sinking in your own tears

Stand up and fight

Move your feet forward

Keep marching

Keep .. marching
