Oh Father who art in Heaven, save me from my self

Another sultry July evening arrives once again this night
Insects chirp in vain, as their harmony is unappreciated
I do not wish to be here, in this point of my existence
And I know a force unfathomable awaits my attention
His patience echoes from his throne beyond these enthralling stars
Yet here I sit unmoved and uncommunicative, though not with intent
I cry to be something outside of my own flesh
Now trapped inside it and freshly aware of my own imprisonment
I feel a new and profound desperation for a daily deliverance
From this wretched solitude that is my self

Heavenly Father, Creator, Protector...
Daddy...envelope me inside your vast arms
So that I may weep for the times I've been away from them
And have no other alternative than to be changed by them

    Very good poem...I know the feeling. I really like this poem, and I am not just saying it. This touches a feeling that rises from time to time. Check out some of my poetry. I think you may enjoy it. If not, that is fine...I think I wll still keep tab on you though.
