salve

I was bathed in awe,

saturated in supernatural drips

from heaven's floor.

But my Eden dissipated

in a pfff of mist,

forced through micro mesh

of violence.

Dragged and drudged, headfirst

in a riptide, deep.

Thrashing about

in the dark night of the soul,

I came to rest my chin

on wreckage of my psyche

in a God forsaken sea.

I need healing salve.

I saw God in those days gone by...
