Little Deaths

The wise man told me,
That every day,
Is full of little deaths;
Dying wishes.
Dying breaths.

That if in each tiny,
Microcosmic dying,
We meet our maker,
Within the sighing,

Then we can start
Our dying well,
That in the end
Our life will tell,

That the sting has met its salve
That fear shall no longer imprison
Our hearts resolve,

In the letting go,
We go home,
In the lifeless husk
A seed is sown,

In dying a little,
Every dying day,
In losing all,
We find our way,

When life is full
Of dying well,
Then heaven holds
No fear of hell,

So give me this day,
My daily death
Give me my bread
As you give me breath
Give me my life
As you give me my cross
To live and die for you
And not count the loss

These feelings
These thoughts

A Blip

This regret
Those oughts'

A Blip

This acceptance
That rejection

A Blip

This loss
This projection

A Blip

This separation
This Isolation

A Blip

This wilderness
This desolation

A Blip

This Pain
This undoing

A Blip

This brick wall
And the ensuing

A Blip

This Long dark night
This sorrows endurance

A Blip

This wait till the Joy of morning
This wait for reassurance

A Blip

These light and momentary troubles
These years on eternity's line of time

A Blip

A blip in time, in the light
Of the eternal weight of Glory's shine

A Blip.

Hold on.

Just a blip.
