Alone

the soul alone knelt
true knowledge of self humbling
nothing to defend

its darkness exposed
stripped away its pretensions
inner light focused

seeking loves healing
calling out for some surcease
on its face falling

swallowed in darkness
its own self hell creating
clawing with self hate

memories painful
endless cycle repeating
holy name calling

mercy came swiftly
its joyful shout resounding
embracing the soul

the light surrounding
inner healing beginning
now nothing to loose

weight dropping with ease
defensive stances let go
flying into light

painful love stripping
burning scouring away
the soul at last free

one with the true light
actually never left at all
home where it belongs

grace life giving free
sin self created ones hell
life or death ones choice

yet loves still pursues
love never failing seeking
that which was once lost
