Alive

Here and now with every breath
live like there is nothing left
and this will be my last
gasp of
air

life is not fair
nor is it for me
myself the center of everything
be

but rather God has shown me how
my life can be changed
and turned around
if I just give him the reigns
for a day and more
he'll show me what life is really for

the beauty before escaped
caught strongly by the nape
held back from all it could be
because before I refused to see

that God could
and would provide
but now I am alive.

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'"
     Isaiah 30:21
