this is something i wrote during a creative worship service at a church i've begun attending. i hesitated to post it, because it's not how i normally write. but nothing is like i thought it would be so...
it's not prose, where i can add explanations and disclaimers and footnotes to make sure i'll be understood. i'm not sure what it is, but here it is. i've done enough explaining already.
rhythmic paradox
I am free while being
protected.
I create my will while
following yours.
I am powerful while being
powerless.
I am destined for failure while
being destined for greatness.
I give and give and give while
constantly receiving from you.
I am his, hers, its while
being yours.
I am alone while
being in your presence.
I am in chaos while
following your order.
I am in pain while
basking in your joy.
I doubt while
still believing.
I go while
you remain.
One day, I may not have a
while
but
or,
but I doubt it,
because
You are the King of Paradox.
