The Point of No Return

Artwork: The Darkest Hour Before Dawn - Chris Berens, 2008

i lay
my
heart
upon
the
altar...

let darkness
fall:
i will
show no
fear.
let the
winds
blow as
wildly
as they
can:
i will
stand
firm.

you
who rule
over us
insignificant
mortals,
i seek
your aid,
your
protection,
your wisdom;
well now
do i
know
you will
never
forsake
me.

guide my
hands,
my feet,
my heart,
my mind -
and i will
know
where to go,
what to do,
what to say.

i lay my
heart
in your
hands...

...and know
the best
is yet
to come.
