halo

I was getting crazy again
it happens sometimes
a pile up of complications
leads to the buckling
of my senses
and my knees

as usual I sought
out grace
a pleading glance
to my Creator
on my knees
(I said, they’d buckled)

and for relief
in a clear picture
that I’d recognize
without mistake
as my redemption
under way

and in shuffled
madness
dark eyed and
deep hearted
shiny souled
and outstretched hand

I gave way to his grip
without bothering
to struggle
embracing every
bit of lunacy involved
basking in the glow of his halo

you've painted

a pretty accurate metaphor for faith, esp the part of "embracing lunacy." perhaps you could give us some context as to your "complications" which led to much buckling?

isn't that the way?

isn't that the way? "...madness....without bothering to struggle....embracing every bit of lunacy...." thanks. :)

p.s. yeah, as softserve suggested, i'd like to know more about the "complications too."

complications...

well, thanks to both of you for reading and for taking the time to comment. As far as these complications go...I guess I'm referring to the crap that stacks up in life...day to day stresses, the disappointments we allow ourselves to feel due to our own "expectations", the clatter, the interpersonal struggles, the losses, and the possibilities too I suppose...you know, the "complications" we create for ourselves. heh. Hope this clarifies a little.
