Some people make me sad
They walk past me with the rattle of buried bodies in their skeletons
I’m interested in why they haven’t dropped them off yet
How they have gotten so comfortable with the weight of death on their backs
I wonder if they have seen stars in their eyes and moons beneath their smirk
But you can tell that a mirror would only give them nightmares
I wish I could wake them up
Untuck them from the comfort of lonely
And remind them that some dreams do come true
That a heart with chameleon like pain won’t always be that color
Even though the past and present haunt them like a vengeful eternity
Scaring the peace out of their faith
I place my two fingers next to their weary hands and pinky promise them that worship isn’t too far from their reach
As long as they are willing to try
Willing to crawl their dying hope to the edge of the throne of mercy
Drag their weak hearts into the castle skies of David’s God and beg for Him to reign there
With no umbrella
Just heaven disrupting the hell imprisoned beneath your ribcage
Filling your lungs with songs that have been too scared to fly
It is ok
Your earthly tears will be a means for praise the day that you see your Kings face and he wipes them away
So smile
Peace is coming.
