Dark Cave(s)

by stewart

How long is this sentence?

Jailed in a world

Of my own creation.

 

Afraid to break free;

Daily I am tormented

By thoughts and desires.

These rub against me

Like thorns from a tree.

 

You say: leave them behind.

Move on. You are what

Stands in your way!

 

O that it were that easy.

Old thoughts, like chains pulling at me.

Wearisome, repetitious living,

In the dark caves of my mind.

 

O Lord, help me break free

And journey back into the Light;

Leaving myself behind, again.

-SB
