See the church:
those heavenly doors
flung wide open.
See the smiling faces:
ushered in –
all are welcome.
Hear the rapturous music:
angelic voices –
a blissful anthem.
Hear those words of wisdom:
flowing like milk
and sweet venom…
Feel the rush of shame:
brokenness. unworthiness.
disgust amidst brethren.
Feel the chains:
infinite fear –
a most powerful weapon.
Run, flee. Escape!
Rise…
see how you blossom.
