Waves roll in,
Reminding me,
Of my sins,
I am not free.
The waves get higher,
The deeper I go,
Tight like a wire,
My body is sinking low.
They soar,
Above my head,
As they roar,
The water turns red.
Will I ever,
Make my way back?
No, the world is black.

This is about how when you feel you have sinned you feel like your drowning in the guilt of it all. Please comment!

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)<br /> <br /> "Upon his bench the pieces lay<br /> As if an artwork on display<br /> Of gears and hands<br /> And wire-thin bands<br /> That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]
