Neo Psalm

Oh Lord, I cry out to you
My spirit calls out to you
like the cascades of the rushing waterfall
Pain spills forth
Struggling thoughts
Words evaporating from my mind
Indescribable Elusive
Journeying forward, not aimlessly,
but with the path before me only in darkness
Light penetrating Aid coming forth
This will not be the last time
This is only the next time
Fighting to see truth
and not believe lies

Epitaph

26. Started selling at 11.
Heroin, your partner at 13.
False ecstasy in your nostrils.
Fleeting, just as your stay here,
leaving me in tears, shattered.
Light returning in your eyes,
a mere flame for you to snuff out.
Crumpled dreams. Hopes destroyed.
Your Medusa calls you forth.
Snow outside. More expected.
Still you go. To Camden?
To your familiar war zone?
To brokenness and abuse.
Here lies healing and
a different future. Dead.

Eternia (AKA Silk)

Dropping dope beats
She hits hard like the floor
Killin' em on the stage
In heels, with class,
Not promoting sexuality
But going strong
All night long

Christ in her heart
Eternity placed inside her
Before she was Annie or E
Humbly she bows
Her heart before Him
Knows her vices and confesses
Longing to be filled not spiritually dehydrated

A different kind of missionary
Placed in the hip hop crowd
Reaching where others won't go
Globe trotting for Him
Grace, provision, miracles
In Australia, Canada, and Austria too
He is with her as she goes

My sister, my friend
With me through my struggles, my ish
Listening ear, loving eyes
No fear, only peace
As iron sharpens irons
Growing stronger together in 2011
Arm in arm
