Analysis of Lighthouse amongst my storm
Suicidal, cancerous, divorced with broken dreams
Infectious thoughts of darkness, drowning
Life plagued by the most painful extremes
Relief, remedies, antidotes, can’t find a cure
To quiet the madness inside me
And brand myself pure
Night by night and hour after hour
Mares bring me deep, into depths and unto grips
Clawing for sanity brings bloody fingers and bloody knuckles
Last breathe, so close, it sweeps across my lips
One more step to leaning over, ledge do I look
Hesitation, inspiration, impressions of light
Flickers of flame into strange emotions bewildering
Then legions of Angels softly singing “Don’t give up the fight”
Heart accepting resolution, now no longer bleeding or begging
Reversing eyes, gaze skyward to be Heavenly bound
Jesus Christ, the lighthouse amongst the storm
Safety of The Savior have I finally found
