I can see the base of the pole
Soft light brown almost white color
The dirt around like it was dug out.

See streams of blood running down this pole
I love it
It makes my eyes water
And I hang my head with the flow of this blood

I see where it has gathered on the ground
I'm here at the base
I can smell it
While it sinks into the earth and hardens
Into the darkness of dead blood

Can I understand?
Why?
It makes me sad
And my face falls to the dirt

I don't want to leave here
I never want to forget what I see
Please don't let me be distracted
Keep my focus on you

I never accomplish anything on my own
You are my accomplishment
Finding you
I didn't even do that though, you did
You showed me

I don't want to leave you
So I'll stay here,
With my master
Thank you Lord

GIS,

As I read the bulb of understanding exactly what you were talking about punched me in the gut...

not an easy thing to do to an agnostic.

Very, very well done.
