I AM ALIVE

Things crumble down which are not held,

A feeling so strong that you can’t comprehend its might,

Drowns your soul to the unknown depths.

You gasp for air and all you can manage to take

Is that which can’t last for long.

Shake, Shake, Shake, the world is coming to a stand still

Mountains crumbling down, volcanoes erupting

And all you knew of this world is slowly burning out.

The sky is filled with the heavy dark smoke,

Where are the beautiful stars, the moon and the emphatic beauty of the night?

The scent of fresh flowers and the scenery of the morning dew

reflecting on the rising sun is slowly fading from my memory

For what it is worth what is happening to me?

Am I becoming deaf, I can’t hear the beautiful song of the birds

mixed with the honks and beeps of motor vehicles.

Wait, where am I, how did I get here, can someone hear me?

Hhhmm, what’s the point for crying out for help?

I mean, everyone is with me where I am and no one seem to

Know what is happening leave alone care to help another.

The four walls are slowly caving in and the air is becoming limited with time.

I need to be alive, I have to stay alive, I got to be alive!

My highly stimulated self speaks out in fear of losing the life it has.

I got to be…. I need to be alive! I strive and struggle to reach at the top of the four walls

To get more air for it’s the only place I can get the air I need,

high above where I can see a bright light passing its rays of HOPE,

And that’s what I want to get to for my life depends on it.

As I reach the top, I start feeling changed, refreshed renewed and most of all

Breathing the sweet air that I have never breathed before

I feel so ALIVE!

Now it hits me that I was actually on my death bed called world systems

Struggling to make my life dependent on what I have achieved, worry,

Jealousy, what other people say about me, anger and a whole lot of unsatisfactory things.

Now that I have breathed the new air that has been breathed in me,

I am now aware what my life should be dependent on,

And it’s HIM who is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, JESUS the savior of us all

Who in HIM everything was made and has the power to take or retain.

He has breathed a new LIFE in me for only with HIM the dead come to life

I AM ALIVE!  
(JOHN 14:6)
