John 12:45

I still remember the days

When I’d lie on the ground, eyes closed,

Waiting for someone to save me, 

Begging on my hands and knees for salvation 

Looking up towards the infinite blue of the sky, 

Only to find nothing. 

But everyone else is waiting for Him, too.

The return of the all-powerful!

With His empty promises of Resurrection

Redemption, Reclamation.

Abiding by a creed left unfulfilled within The bleak, 

Black Book. 

Oh, how ignorant thou hast become!

There’s a reason we haven’t seen Him yet.

For He can only be envisioned by the blind

Those foolish enough to be forced into fallacy -

Fearful enough to fall for a farce -

Those unable to accept the inevitable. 

Long gone are the days when I’d lie on the ground, eyes closed, waiting 

Undoubtedly denying the disposition of the dying.

As I rose from the ground for the first time in years, 

I opened my eyes and viewed my reflection 

Finally seeing what the blind desperately pursued all along

Without a doubt, 

He is Risen.
