Retreat: The Intermission

Not that I ran away
But I had to
I. Needed. A. Break

And I Got One..
I know I’ve Rested when i come home Tired..
Carnally Tired but Spiritually Refreshed
Basking in Almighty Presence
Living in Self Reflection
Meeting in the Cool of the Day

A Break from Myself..
Dawning and Setting in the presence of People
Feeling God
Learning Myself
Laughing Freely
Crying Freely
Freely Living at a Storm’s Pace
Knowing no Fatigue until the Last Day.

A Break from my Passion
My Sins
My Drunkenness and my Lust
And Realizing their Poison
A Time of Detox
Pure Joy in Clean Life

For I knew the Weight of my Shed Tears
The Years of Bondage they Represented..
They were Heavy and that is why they fell
Slowly
But they fell
My Soul lessened its Burden
Exchanged it for a lighter one
For there is a Cross I Must Bear..
And I Now shall Bear it in Humility, Strength and Courage

But Crosses aren’t Convenient
