Lord
I was wrong
Not in
The path
Of totality
But in totality
Watching
You work
Your magic
With the evidence
Of your Hands
Leaves me
Going back
To the days
Searching
For you
To save me
From myself
I no longer
Look on
The past
With bitterness
But with appreciation
For what you’ve
Forced me
To conquer
In my loneliness
Thank you
Solar eclipse
For the light
To look back
Without shallow indifference
But absolute awe
And what
You do
When my
Attention
Is elsewhere
Years ago
The mention
Of God
Would leave
Leave me
Running
For the hills
And right now
God and
His grace
Is the only reason
I rise
To fight
Another day
Even when
My understanding
Of the why
Is mired
In the knowledge
That what
I’d like to know
Most
May never
Be answered
Learning
To be okay
With that reality
Is what
I try not
To ponder much
Living in the present
And not the
Presence
Of what
I don’t know
Is the biggest obstacle
To my happiness
Or sanity
Or both
Keeping it
Honest
No perfect lives
Here
Just hard knocks
Disability
Will shove
Perfect
Down the
Drain
Faster
Than I can utter
Coherent thoughts
It sounds like you're in a good place and I'm happy for you. Keep flourishing my dear <3
