Keep It Straight Keep Going Forward

 

Lurking in the shadows

Waiting with menace

Lurking, intent on pain

My demon past still mocks

I must keep moving forward

 

The crooked lies I told

Wait to bend and break me

Oroboros in making

Endlessly circling

I must keep moving forward

 

The hollow zombies

Won’t stop running

It’s straight to Hell

If they catch me

I must keep going forward

Hi, Graham, good to see you posting, Have things been tough?

This reminded me of a verse from the hymn, 'Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea A great High Priest, whose name is Love Who ever lives and pleads for me My name is graven on His hands My name is written on His heart …'

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look, and see Christ there
Who made an end of all my sin.;

and the scripture, 'Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.' (Phlippians 3:13,14)

Thanks Rhiannon, no things are fine.  I have recently been incredibly busy with GA as I am both an editor for New Life and have been doing a public relations role as well.  I have been spending a lot of time on them. Then the winter months always seem to slow down my creative energy.
