Essence is something

lives of enduring love
grace surpasses our failure
looking to the skies for a glimpse of hope
my sundried heart still thirsts

a faith untroubled
a will unhindered
selflessness is the gateway to humility
justice will be demonstrated accordingly

disobedience sparks furry
whilst fear drives me further away
my attention shifts away as
i begin to stumble

the pressures of a life to the full
potentially being the best I can be
circuming to the efforts of the flesh
has the will of the almighty been carried out?

time ticks on till death do us part
or will the vow of one involve us all?
concentrating on change
we forget whos staying the same

representing a begotten man
traipsing through each new day
too afraid to act on instinct
too afraid to give myself up

complicated lives of few
illustrated beings of course
willingly allowing their paths to venture
out into the decorated desert

i want to be all I can be
i choose gain not loss
yet loss so active in me
is the one way for me to gain.
