By Clifford A. Hogan/

I stretch my Parkinson diseased hands towards the light
Dilating my pupils
My clothes withered in ashes
From the enduring pain

At last, my suffering will forsake me
All I needed in this journey
was THE SAVIOR AND THE SPIRIT
Who saved me from the destruction of me
And mankind

When the sun extracted my shadow
All I saw was death and sin
Like two gloves beating me down to the pits of hell
Its deceiving nature,
my shining armor
Its lust housed deep into my soul to no return

I held its sword,
my shelter and comfort
But when I discovered a dripping coat of blood
I discovered the malicious reflection of my own sin

I became the sheep lost from the herd
ready to be mauled by ravenous demons
But only THE SAVIOR AND THE SPIRIT
Omnipotence
can steer a fool out of his own annihilation
and into the Righteous path

So I ask you,
What am I without HIS greatness in me?
Just eroded particles blowing towards 
the mouth of satan
But only THE SAVIOR AND THE SPIRIT
can close shut the fowl mouth of that
demonic pestilence
while opening HIS arms 
to truth and life

God is everything compacted into one irreplaceable creature
whose immortalities are compared to none
So let THE WORD OF GOD
rise beyond the horizon
with all power in HIS hands
and all creation at their knees
As a mortal
I try not to lust the beauty of tomorrow
But as long as I hold true
THE SAVIOR AND THE SPIRIT
Philippians 4:13 shall be cemented in my heart.
