The Power of Light

Tears of confusion

Stream down my face hastily

It’s a delusion

Pain has taken me

Everything is ugly

Jesus, help me

So, Jesus did

An inspirational spark

In front of my eyelids

Look out the window

There’s a mysterious light

Makes my beauty flow

The bright light blinds me

And for a moment I see

Pure, bleeding beauty

Color returns, now

My body feels soft and light

Dry tears are rainbow

The evil shadows

Have now left my bright bedroom

Now I have no foes

I see from inside

Seven-thousand butterflies

They don’t want me to hide

One by one they flew in

One by one they picked me up

As light as a pin

Butterflies of light

And Jesus himself

Awoke me in night

They carried me far

Illuminated insects

Away from the dark

I was oh so high

Above the clouds I soared

Then they dropped me from the sky

I fell for a while

Afraid of nothing, only fear

Then I hit a pile

A pile of my own

All things held dearest to me

But they didn't matter…

I had flown!

This is amazing! I'm not sure I've ever liked to read Jesus this much.

I hope you write more like this one.

Ha ha, I know what you mean. I don't know why I said Jesus so much. Usually I don't add too much religion or anything about faith into my writing, but for some reason that came up a lot so idk 0_o

[Tai Ryens]

To land in a pile of your belongings, only to fly as well as land . . . Did you somehow reincarnate into a butterfly upon death? If so, that was amazingly clever.

[C.A. Lucas]

Sure, I'm glad you see it that way. Thanks for review
