The grip of sinA Poem by Gerry Legisterwe are caught in a desperate place when we are in the grip of sinThe gripping sins that
we can’t imagine Wherein God being an
objective judge, Brought hope out from
beneath the pain And vows can only be
something our pledge. In tone and moods to
capture the aura There lies a sense of
ominous danger In deeds where sin
blames a new idea Guilt carries the same
tension of fear. Pondering whether to
confess or suppress And swallow the whole dark
enormity Until penitent call
the black light darkness To ascend from the
descending enmity. In fright; we find
insight of rules and dreams, And get debasement to
accept the blame When our sins surface
under the skins We fail and fall being
called by another name. We believe ourselves
to a different person When the darkness of
sin has passed away We are here as
survival of the faults we own Although we could not
take the blame willingly. © 2015 Gerry Legister |
