Focused, in a distracted sort of way
Into the sweeping underbellies He came As anchor to souls drowning in hopeless sorrow, As sheltered embrace to those flayed by the winds of relentless piercing doubt and questioning, As gentle light and breath of fresh cool air for the numb and trembling hearts hidden and covered in the deep darkness. And there he waged... Continue Reading →
