Only Heaven Can Cover Mistakes

Unlike snow, all of my sins
share the same DNA
a clone of the last one
each the same devilish design

 

They fall at my feet

the stench and stain

no white of nature

pure enough to make them disappear

no good deed or sacrifice suffice


As winter's blanket covers
my heart is  exposed

to the same elementry lusts

greens of envy, scarlett passions 

a perverted rainbow
from one dark light

I feel a chill in my soul,
but that is all I feel,
the cold deep down inside,
nothing to cover the mistakes
no soft stars to cool my tongue

Then I am reminded
what turns black to white
reflecting now off a Christmas sun

grey made crystal clear
like icicles playing on trees

Deep red drips down a cross
turns to shades of mercy,
gloriously white
sin hid under my Savior's blood.

Author notes

I probably touch every sin with my rebellion each day - It is not fun to sin though there is pleasure for the moment until you have to "pay the Piper"

    From the bible: let those without sin cast the first stone. Life without sin is death. Good job
