Scatter
Bitter
Slither sweet eccentric stratic on my cheek
Evolve

Shatter
Wither
Sour streak a little lock lets have a peek
Rotate

Splatter
Twitter
Golden splock seek we the meek for a week
System

Peek peek peek
Understand
Comprehend
Acknowledge
This and that are nothing and everything in between

Is this really a wall?
Is there no way through?
Are you locked here?
Where is here?
I don’t have a clue

All the power and all the might
Flimsy and thin in my hand
The strings that dangle and dance
I am a man, am I a man, but I can manage
My shoe gets stuck, a kink, a trip
I fall, to what? from where?  how far?

Here I need chains
To hold me back
Set my limits
Measure standards
A challenge to comprehend
And have none
Only a blank chasm
Between what?
Not falling, not standing, just existing
And all forms of progress have turned to goo
Death in my eyes looking forward and nowhere in particular
Dazed except the rats in my mind somewhere in this
Dancing and crawling for an audience of two or three

My tongue gets dry
My eyes get dry and hurt
Steady stare
With my now futile brain

Bad confidence
He is God and not me

Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God.

I like what you're doing with this series of poems, Craig, and I especially like this one. I like seeing you explore the dark side of spirituality, for it better preps you to defend your soul against it.

And as for the "dancing and crawling for an audience of two or three"...I can't help but be reminded...

"For wherever two or more of you are gathered..."

There is Love.

Inspire on!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

Yeah, it is true.

He is awesome.
