Cometh Upon Thee

Years pass
I await
the blessed event.

Yearning for
release
time brings me closer.

A year
A month
A day

What is the reckoning?

Scrabbling out of the avalanche
Eking a living
From the vestiges of secular morality

A mountain of rubble
crushing my body
into wreckage

A finger moves
A toe
A snippet of prior freedom

I beg
LET ME BE FREE AGAIN
to exist

Not all at once
I know
not right now, but gradually

The stones and logs fall away
the gravel and dirt hold me still
yet

My hand moves, now

What mistakes can help
awareness of what I failed to achieve
and how I have become a failure?

The magma is ready to explode
The tectonic plate ready to snap
The dark green clouds ready to erupt

Pouring into life once again!
