Dead Leaves
by Jennifer Molloy Isaiah 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousness are like filthy rags: We all fade like the leaf, And our iniquities like the wind, Have taken us away Shades of gray deflect the light into shadowy darkness, as bare branches, click like bones, bereft of skin and substance Driving the beat while leaves that have fallen from grace, black with decay, whirl and spin in a hideous dance Brought to life by anger, hurt, betrayal, the building blocks of hatred, are the offspring of sin Fueled by compromise, the winds of pride have carried us into the land of death, will it tear us limb from limb Or will we glimpse the Truth in the ebb of night That we are the problem, we've lost sight That not on our merit, will we ever see the light of day But by the hand of our Savior, will true Saints be made Contact me at [email protected] I am a freelance writer and poet that writes poetry and commentary on my christian life.
