My Last Breath

I'm hit!

Split the heart, again

How many can I take?!

F- that crafty snake, and

His unwitting accomplices

Delirium

As my world careens

A few steps, I stumble

I grasp for some footing

And collapse on the rock

Utterances

My words do no good

I'm a vapor here and gone

But your word, O Lord

Choice morsels I find

Healing

Faster than I expect

Air, nourishment, life!

Wounds heal miraculously

Death, where is your sting!

Feast

A torrent unleashed

What came for my head

Flees for the darkness

A legion is awakened

Alert

In an instance, I am

Sober on high alert

Every sense tuned

I see around corners

War

What the enemy meant

For death has met

A mighty fortress

Built for this battle

Seasons

Every day I ponder war

My days are numbered

Roots deepen to weather

Every season on Earth

Legacy

My circle has no choice

Join or die

For him or against

Every friend a soldier

Pit

No torture affects me

The pit is my friend

I don't try to escape

Because I already have

Joy

Behind my eyes

Rests a deep well

Unseen, overflowing

With abundant life

Finished

I count each breath

Each a worship song

Created for one purpose

For God knows how long
