New Poem

The earth shakes and opens up.
It devours me.
the ground shatters and swallows me up
it sends me into the dark deep abyss
the abyss consumes me
no light
only darkness
only the abyss that devours me
darkness, no control , no voice.....
only the abyss

I shall Rise

I rise like the sun from the ocean
Rising to the clouds
Touching the skies
I rise like the eagle soaring the heavenly skies
Flying, touching the beautiful sun
I rise like the owl
Coming out
To share the wisdom
That was gained
I rise like the moon and stars
... Bringing light to night's dark skies
I rise like the phoenix
That through itself
On the burning pyre
I rise like the rooster
Waking up everyone
At sweet dawn
I rise like the ocean waves
Ready to hit the sandy beach
And I rise every morning
Looking up to the heavens
I remembered that I rose from the ashes
Stronger and better
And I rose
Only because the Lord was with me
And if since He was risen
I can continue to rise
And I am still rising
And I shall rise
