Lost in thought

“Curse God and die…”
I’ve often thought upon these words
And wished that I might let myself
Feed on them,
And let me stand.
Strength in anger.
Just demanding
More of Him.

For I have felt the ache in bones
And know how hard it is to stand
I know the pain of tears, alone…
When nobody will lend their hand…
My rights are full,
For I have lived,
A faithful servant
Dying now…

And I will say I’m mad at Him
And shake my fist, yes,
Shout at heaven.

For I can’t see the reason,
Maybe I am Job again…
Others feed my flesh
I’m wounded then to test the sword
And I will feed the parasites…
Forever
If it is my call, yes,
I could curse the God of all
But still, He holds my hand.



- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

What a significant piece of work...a moment of soul searching perfectly captured.

it has blown in the past with
its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last

Lauren,
I always feel bad when people say I brought them to tears... because I hate the thought of bringing them to the pain that I know...not that what I feel is the worst there is, it isn't, but its bad enough... Thank you for your kindness, and hugs back

Noah,
amen thank you... the day I wrote this I had spent a lot of time reading Job and was just really angry, but I know that God will remain faithful to me even as I struggle with what he allows me to have... you're so sweet, again, thank you.

Always, Alyssa

Marge,
of all the millions of things anybody could have replied to this with, and out of any response they could take from what I express...  the prayers mean more to me then anything else could. I'm honored, and I thank you.

Always, Alyssa
