Who Am I

Who am I 

 

My frame was conceived in thought

Then carved in earth built, as my mold was cast

The expressed beauty of all I came to be

Then pronounced, "Wonderfully Made"!

 

Of the earth, live on it, will return to it

It's me, I'm it, enjoying every part of it

As it motions me to move along with it

Remiinded am I of my brief stay, as I look up

 

The heavens looking at me in glory points to the sun

Convince me, between the light that shines 

My heart that it  floods, I'm enlightened 

To know that nothing can come between me and you

 

Not death, height, depth, the grave, not even hell

A love as light, shines beyond in search of my heart

So loved am I, the heavens emptied itself just for me 

Comimg between me; earth, the light of the sun will surely fail

 

You showed up, as was told, casting shadows for all to behold 

Minutes past with no light,day turned to night

A presence from another realm, moments experienced 

Chasing after you to my utmost delight, darkness felt alright

 

I may never see you in your fullness again

When I hug the face of the sun as a friend

I'm left to wonder the majesty of it all

So vast are the heavens, I feel so small

 

As I wonder at my role in life 

The sun in my face, problems run rife

They were meant to hide me into oblivion

Yet finally, I broke free with renewed vision
