Hell In My Bones(Even Though I Have Seen The Light)

I'm old enough to no better but sometimes still careless

 

Unstable intuitions

Sometimes leads my intentions

Into confusion

Causing the water under the bridge

To rise and wash it out.

 

Gut reactions become insecure

When the fire of compassion

Turns cold as ice

Due to frozen anxieties.

 

Lord knows I’m not perfect

Even though I have tried

Walking on water

Only to end up drowning

While taking innocent swimmers

Down with me.

 

With age has comes wisdom

And now I know my place

Is along the shoreline

Being a pillar of faith

In the community of humanity.

 

That doesn’t stop me

From giving in to the temptation

Of testing the calm sea

Only to create rough waters.

 

I know deep down

There is hell in my bones,

So I thank God

That Jesus’ blood

Runs through my veins.

even though we know better, sometimes we don't!

i like how you used many phrases that are sayings..."walking on water"
"with age comes wisdom"
"cold as ice"

but all done with your specific, Dale Twist...

i relate to this...i still do things i know i shouldn't...and i should be smarter than that.
I'm not.
