| Stared into a mirror too long looked you in the face and was frozen saw learned behaviors saw disgrace ashamed of the paths previously chosen tried to set those sights on a better place
down for a good while unable to smile wicked and vile slowly going insane set those sights on a higher plane
woke up one day in colors background of monochromatic light greeted by two eagles by Divine intervention return of sight the world had labeled us insane set those sights on embracing a God given name
tried to change the world around without first purging the world from within grappling with You in transition was futility, set those sights on opening a mind to a Teacher
Letting You in surrender in the heat of "The Way" the fatted calf was rendered
at the joyous feast a smile reset a mind reset a heart reset an offer… brokenness to kneel at Your Cross
if You will have us to serve You? You are the only answer to all having lived without in a time when thought was considered clever
"i believe, help my unbelief" take away any and all hidden doubt please be a guiding strength to undertake a bold new "endeavor"
if it please Thy Majesty then it would please us too if it be Thy Will might we be Your's now and forever?
"my senses tremble" our senses may tremble when we open ourselves and allow an hour, a time that is ripe for us, to really touch us.-Rainier Maria Rilke

| Love the cross shape. Cool! The meditative tone in this one is pretty awesome too. I could have chosen the whole thing to label as my favorite, but I made an extra effort and tried to pick some of the stanzas that stood out just a touch more for me:
down for a good while unable to smile wicked and vile slowly going insane set my sights on a higher plane
Letting You in i surrendered in the heat of "The Way" the fatted calf was rendered
at the joyous feast a smile reset a mind reset a heart reset i offer myself my brokenness i lay at Your Cross |

| That explains a lot. I had a sister, but the competition was no less strenuous since we were both tom girls. Daddy raised us that way. |
