You’ve seen it in the movies, how someone is running away from a crumbling building. For the sake of theatrics, they always manage to miss the last piece by inches.
Isn’t life like that? What we build always seems to fall apart. But by some fortunate circumstances, we are always inches ahead of the last falling peace. The noise, the dust, the sparks that fly, they are always behind us, or just brushing our shoulders.
But just as curiously, there is collateral damage. Many are caught in the wake of catastrophe from our mistakes and mishaps. And we, ourselves, are victims from the work of countless hordes of fools. Death is the place where we emerge from the smoke and dust.
I wrote a poem called “Sorrow”. The poem is the offspring of this realization. With all sincerity, I desire that death should come. Let it come and put an end to this catastrophic event called “My life”.
I don’t desire death because I’m lazy. I desire death because of Jesus. (The very same reason I’m still living.) I desire death that there may finally be peace in the place where all I could bring was horror. I desire death that his work may find completion.
How precious then are these words he has led, inspired or incited me to write. Though they cause upheaval, it is for the better of every soul. And as I have written before, as long as I live here these words remain concealed.
They are concealed because of the pride of Man. As long as he can attribute an errant human to these words, he will not find them nor seek them out. But take away the man and the legacy sprouts wings. “He was ten feet tall. He was the epitome of muscle and brain. His heart was forever in the right place. He was a saint among us!”
How wrong they will be. But how useful is their error. May God be glorified in Jesus His, Holy and Righteous Son for the sake of what He has done in this fool.

Sorrow
Wisdom of “The Pace”
Fills the hearts of most who race.
Measuring their stride:
With wisdom, most preside,
Over all of life’s demands;
With sobriety command,
The weary and the grand
Requirements of the Race.
For me it is not so.
I dearly wish it were,
Though.
For what I do is sprinting, resting,
Through the marathon of life.
The finish line.
Where are you now?
That lovely place,
Where my soul will bow.
Please break from your tethers.
Come meet me in the “Now”.
Arise and cease this music;
An errant putrid song,
That seems to be the only noise
Of my strings against the thongs.
Oh, how I strive to limit burden!
Only adding to the weight.
To offer sweetness as desert,
But filling up their plate!
The marks of feet upon the ground
Belong to errant soles, I found.
Old dust, I rose, come cover me.
Oh, “Finish Line” sublime!
