Back to Basics

[Guest guest]

Chrism you are right, there is no stopping or going back. I now know

this from experience. I have tried and failed. Here is a poem I

wrote that kind says what I am feeling

 

She was on the road to the way of the sun not knowing her life had

just begun

She was feeling free like you and me just on the bridge reality

Then something swept her off that bridge and in the air her wings

did give

Into the bottomless pit she fell, into the place some would call hell

 

Blackness and doom surrounded her days her mind was spent in some

kind of haze

Alone and forgotten time had elapsed; she learned some hard lessons

she would never forget

Though the sludge and despair she tried to find her way back

Then in the darkness she remembered to prey

She considered the teachings of surrender and trust and heard a

voice say just give it to us.

 

She fought and she climbed for nights upon days finally seeing a

light she began to sing praise.

Closer and closer she got to the top she wouldn't look down from the

fear that shed drop

Ray upon ray the sun shone through until finally there it was, in

full view

She fell on her knees to give prayer and thanks the warmth of the

light was just so nice

Never again would she fall off the bridge and would always make sure

by practicing the Safeties.
