God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
God blesses those who are humble,
for they will inherit the whole earth.
God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied.
God blesses those who are merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.
God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.
God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Thirsting unquenched
A labored breath
Scrape my wound for healing
My calloused heart betrays me
drowning breath, breathe
Be still, swallow hard
A tear
Rip the stitches of reality
A schizophrenic daydream
Losing all to gain life
Madness ravage consumed
Seeing red trickle, unconscious
Three nails grace resolved
A stranger unassuming
Branches outline the wreckage
Battered soul, torment and trouble
Seams of hope creased
Stumble, shatter, psychological
My need a Word unfathomed
Run to the dying
Eternity embraced by the hem of a garment
Pastels of the faded
Restored.
