Not Quite the Right Light

Sure, I want to “let my light shine.”
But sometimes I don’t get it quite right.

Lord, make me a big, bold searchlight —
shining bright for Your glory.

  1. I hope you’ll pardon the language…I’m still fighting, but hurting real bad.

    God, I’m down to nothing here,
    and I really want to flee,
    but it’s all just to Goddam clear
    that here’s where dyin’s got to be.
    Ammo state has long gone red,
    and all too soon it will be black;
    I really had it in my head
    that maybe You have had my back?
    But what the hell, last magazine,
    and after that the fighting knife
    will set the final bloody scene
    of what’s been a bloody life,
    but one last plea – please don’t reject…
    illume, and fire for effect.

    Lay it on my pos, God. Kill me, but kill the cancer too.

      Your poetry inspired a bit of a smile today. Your cancer is doomed, I’m sure. You, on the other hand, have a long and glorious future.

      Thank you, Kathy. The concept rattled around in my head for a few days before I did the artwork. I’d be driving, or shopping, or praying and think, “I am more than a tea light.” Not that I’m feeling like a search light just yet. That’s still a leap of faith.
