gray

The naked soul

The cold breath

 The aching hands

And pounding memories

Closing my doors

Locks and chains and keys

But you stand knocking

Leave

Abandon me, O stubborn one

There is no room for you here

No warmth, nor bread

Just scarred beds

And empty vessels

Broken closed.

But He says to me, "I will pursue you. I will hunt you down and capture you. You cannot turn around. You can only walk on. You cannot hide, for darkness is as light to me."

I could see the fear take over 

Hearts hardened to the sound of closeness

It's aching and pounding all on the citizens

Leaving them wishing for a lover

And the lights on the street go dark 

But all the heaviness is in my heart

The colours on the leaves are gray

But I hold heaven in my heart today
