Godzebo

Beneath the rolling waves and sweeping sands
Hides a bunker, nestled in the depths
Hard as tempered steel, cold as winter's night
Jonah's refuge from a God who cares.

Cumulative effect of sin and sin and sin
My God, my God, O why have you abandoned me?
He is so far, for I have not moved...
Sin and sin and sin...

Crippling stalagmite of residual self-lust
Pins me down, not sudden, yet immediate
One moment I could bolt, another,
I could not.

Stuck in this bunker, hiding from God...
If I close my eyes, you can't see me!

Sigh. Enough.

You're here for a reason.

Do your thing. Help me.

Very good. I enjoyed reading this poem over and over. I had searched thru google for a poem about a gazebo, as part of a gift. This is the first good one I have found. I can relate to your description of yourself. Thank you for sharing!

Call me Doogie. I got that nickname from making journal entries on my computer back in college... kinda like what I'm doing now. I'm a former Free Methodist and current (and permanent) Roman Catholic. I'm also a politically aware Canadian who votes Conservative. Rabid Sens fan. I am magnetically drawn to true, sharp wit, and thus appreciate Chesterton, Lewis, Churchill, Python... all the clever Brits. Got a beautiful wife, cute kids, interesting new job, filthy minivan, big mortgage, etc.
