Shame's Journey

Shame's Journey

Mocking glance

Of pounding words

Hollow echoes in my mind.
Soul piercing, fake masks.

Failure.

Scornful sneers,

Icy fingers

Coldly grope my clutching heart.
Revealed agendas.

My Loss.

Wooden smiles

Paint love, concern,

Empty lies of prideful eyes.
Hidden motives born.

Naked.

Lost, alone,

Hopeless despair,

Whispers catch, twirl in heartache.
Murmured prayers. Silence.

Grief filled.

Gentle Light,

Shame cowers low,

Shimmering rays envelop.
Tumbled waters wash.

Hopeful.

Timid steps,

Tender Jesus.

Cloak of darkness, falls forgotten.
Honoured, tall, serene.
I dare,

Courageously.

I hope.
