Rooted and Grounded

Chisel

Born in darkness
chisel in hand
my soul craves
the yet unknown

I carve the stone
cut away the rock
piece by piece
sliver by sliver
dust of granite enshrouds

as I chisel, light enters
momentary blindness
passes
my birth cave illuminated
darkness dispelled
anxiety allayed
loneliness lifted

I see You
Your glory, enlightens my darkness
Shekinah runway lights
lead me

so I chisel more
hungry for the Light
pushing limits
to open the way
to one day live
in the Light
