The Human Sacrifice

Contributed by justme03 on Sunday, 12th June 2005 @ 02:17:54 PM in AEST
Topic: ChristianPoetry

Broken hearts left to die
Collapsing towers
here today gone tomorrow
Put me on the altar
Shed a thousand tears
forever
I am the human sacrifice

Roaming the chambers in the dawns light
Dripping wax falling from cream candles at night
Distant dreams gathered close to your heart
Take your dagger and tear them apart

The walls crumble around me
The floor shakes beneath my feet
I fear it is the end I will soon meet
The sound of a gong vibrates loud and strong
I close my eyes and pray.
The day is slipping away
There in the sky, the sun sets
a deep red beauty
beyond all sense

Saving my pain, clearing another’s sorrows
hoping for better tomorrow’s
You seem so cynical
It is just unbelievable
I take your place on the altar
but no one to take mine
I am the human sacrifice

As time goes by I soon come to see
that this is not the duty assigned to me
There is only one who can take away the pain
Only one who can see through the dark and rain
Come through the fog, explore the light
The red beauty is in your sight
The blood that was shed for you and me
It is something I think we should all see
We need to remember we can’t do this alone
I think His love for us was greatly shown
As we rely on one another we also rely on our Savior
Don’t hurt yourself, turn to the light
and soon you will be all right

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
