To taste salvation.
I know you've heard the word "Saviour" before, but it seems you've forgotten what it means to be saved. You can lick the salt from your fingers and the blood from the wounds on your wrists, and you can beg for a bite to eat from the hand of the merciful, and you can cry out from your dark, dank dungeon with that feeble, bleating voice of yours. But you must know that the tremoring knees of our spirits will not support our frames without a Grace that will be sufficient in all of our weakness. This madness has gripped us with cold, hard fingers and convinced us that the earth is made of us, when maybe we are made of the earth. And maybe it is to this earth that we will return.
Our skin is paper thin; our bones are brittle and bound to shatter within minutes of existence. Our eyes are bright but oh, so blind. Has it occurred to us that maybe perfection in humankind is something to be grasped? Will we ever understand the meaning of the word "save"? It is more than a bite to eat from the hand of the merciful. It's more than Superman appearing from out of the looming blue to lift your leaking vessel from the sea.
There was a cry in the night. The clouds rolled over, playing their gloomy games with the mournful man on the moon. The wolves howled in response to the chilling sound of mankind giving birth to something infinitely beyond itself. The grey curtain of repetition and time began to fold back around; the dust-covered veil was being lifted, and we could see the sun behind the eyes of the deep, dark ocean. There was perfection under the skin of men. There was a fragrance in that hot, dry, polluted air. A hope for renewal, something like the smell of spring, or the feeling of a hot tear on one's cheek; the smell of a second chance. A drop in the ocean to change the tide.
This is an outtake from this, but I think I might like this one more?
I'm uploading old photos since I don't have much time to take new ones. Starting today, theater is going to eat my life. However, I have had time to do a couple covers of various songs, so hopefully I'll be able to get those up on Youtube and link you to them if you want. (:
Have a blessed day.
