Cleansing

by Gentle Storm   Oct 6, 2008


Time runs out,
Feeling like a trout,
In the ocean,
Swimming round about,
Aimlessly,
Dangerously,
No place to go,
Lost in a shark's territory.
Got to fight,
Like a warrior.
Give me,
No reason to worry.
Don't want,
To live and be sorry.
Lord, please,
Shine your light upon my soul.
Lord, please,
Come and cleanse my body whole.

Energy burns up,
Trapped,
In an antelope's body,
Vast African wild,
Weary...desperate,
Life or death.
Victim of circumstance,
No place to go,
Lost in a cheetah's path.
Struggling,
Suffering,
Legs shuffling,
In the throes of death.
Lord, please,
Shine your light upon my soul.
Lord, please,
Come and cleanse my body whole.
