Drawn and Quartered

My defect that I thought I shredded 

And buried in four places

Like Braveheart

Has sewn itself back together and is 

Standing over me, threatening my life

When I’m sleeping 

In my dreams I’m saying

I thought I killed you.

What else can I do but raise up 

My life up as an offering 

to God.

Write my story forward

Give it to God again.

Follow Him. 

And his sunrise

In my dreams he is saying

I’ll take care of you

If you could walk a mile in your enemies shoes, he

Wouldn’t be your enemy anymore.

Resentments

Drawn and Quartered.

And then it’s done.

Until the next time. 

My defect that I thought I shredded

And buried in four places

Like Braveheart

Has sewn itself back together and is running away 

With my life

When I’m obsessing.

In my despair I’m saying

Not again. 

If you could walk a mile in your enemies shoes

She wouldn’t. be your enemy anymore.

Even if that enemy is yourself. 

Obsession

Drawn and Quartered

And then it’s done

Until the next time. 

I only fail if I quit trying.

Expect miracles.  

Sometimes it’s 

Possible to change. 

(With God’s help)

My defect that I thought I shredded

And buried in four places

Like Braveheart

Has sewn itself back together and is

Throwing things across my car

When I’m angry.

In my rage I’m saying 

You got me again. 

If you could walk a mile in your healer’s shoes

She wouldn’t be your healer anymore.

Rage

Drawn and Quartered.

And then it’s done.

Until the next time. 

I only fail if I quit trying 

Liquid gold peace

Like a serenity concerto
