Recently
I thought the devil was defeating me
But now I see it was I
That was retreating and fleeing me!
Jut momentarily, I ignored
I took the word of God and deplored
Didn’t rest in His love
Neither did I take his word and explore
And yet the entire while
I complained for a long while
Switched up my style
And felt exhausted for the fight I fought
It was like walking the green mile
Felt detested and hated
With my own self I debated
But now I am refreshed and reinstated
Knowing that God is gracious enough
To have forgiven me of my ignorance
And have a new outlook integrated
I am SkTzO yet Eric
But am also
Illumination and Strange Poet all intertwined
And at some point in the history of my physical flesh
They all converged and became one mind with the divine
And He gave me a sign
To prove that I am given blessings to share with other minds
And that by grammatical design
I can share experiential wisdom through any kind of written line
So here I am in due time
As it is due season for my next rhyme
I have fallen into the depths of hellish valleys
But He gave me power to have many high mountains climb
So here is a piece of my mind
Written in order to share
I share because I care
Even though you and I are separated by miles of no where!
He granted me "sight beyond sight" like O-Lion
And He has given me light like Orion
Many souls have been bought
But Gold refined by Fire by God is what I’ve been buying
I’ve taken delight when in Him I confided
And when I fought in His strength
For He gave and still gives me
Power and agility to fight to any length
Endurance throughout the struggle
Gives me peace through the storm
And when the devil bashes my mind with winters of sadness
God is in the center keeping me warm
So although recently
My spirit was compromised
He awakened me from my slumber
And reminded me to keep my eyes on the end prize!
