Chronic Pain
Through battles of despondency,
Rare chronic illness muckings.
Hear echoes of their laughing,
rub hands of their stalkings.
Stinging pain;
disasters.
A spiritual world war.
Meant to divide and conquer,
those standing by the sword.
My burden of my symptoms,-
it’s tortuous attacks.
They’re one behind the other;
My light seen,
Followed.
Tracked.
A ship in fog kept idled.
My engine just won’t start.
Reaching for my Bible-
as my body falls apart.
Can spirit separate from body?
to escape the suffering?
Crude hell of inflammation,
raging fire from within.
A rumbling embodiment;
endless lava burning–
proclastic hyperglow
emitted from my yearning.
Feel branded.
Tormented.
Hot pokers of this thorn,
attacking my body…
I lay here and I mourn.
Felt unclothed out in winter,
I shivered on my own.
I needed Him beside me,
to clothe me, bring me home!
A martyr full of valor,
burned alive for faith,
a yesteryear believer,
the blood runs through my veins.
Coursing and crying for justice in pain, Lamenting in writhing…
My tongue calls his name!
He heard me,
procured me,
Bottled my tears.
Filled me of healing,
replaced all my fears.
Cut open,
I’m slaying.
Filleting of flesh,
I share in His suffering,
soul-fired and blessed!
In cells of his captors
Paul sang of His songs,
The Word was his strength-
I sing all day long!
Have rhythm,
Give glory!
Mountains have moved!
My symphony of suffering,
sweet melody of truth!
