I'm Alive

[bipolarartist]

like a clean sheet of paper
or a new notebook
or a new lease on life...

like a brand new, smooth flowing pen
on soft satiny paper

let the words flow!
let my work parade!

let my mind's bound dreams
yawn and stretch,
Awaken!
Awaken from the long
terrible nightmare!
Smile and praise the New Day!

Allow me
O Lord
to see Your Love
within me!

strip me from
the chains of self

peel away the mask!
shed the snake's skin!

Allow me,
once again,
to quench my thirst
with The Gift's
Holy Water!

Encircle me,
please
with Your Peace
Your Warmth
and the Salt
of Your Ocean
