It’s only a few weeks before The Crossings Church: Collinsville will be opening its services to the people of Collinsville…
I will die each day
Hoping to crumble
Like stardust
Into the palms of heaven.
I will crush my body
In hopes of discovering
I can see you’re boarded up —
your
broken
I think I’m coming unfurled
Like a flag — I’m unraveled
It’s lonely this year
Knowing your missing
This Christmas will pass
And without a word
Another year will unfold-
Where was I before you found me
Lying naked on the floor?
You’re more. More than this.
A tree does not decide how it grows -
The way the rings curl around
Recently a class-mate from my high-school killed themselves. The class of 2011 is short one more graduate. One more voice has been silenced. One more person gone.
It’s hard — because I’ve been there. Not in it’s entirety. I know things are always more…
It’s funny how much that’s not the case. I know my younger self is surprised at how my life has turned up. I know he didn’t expect it to be like this.
