The Heart of Home

Fri, 07/26/2013 - 20:22 -- LANE♥

I looked for God

in the heart

of all good people

What I found were their demons

So many search for higher power

with no power

of their own

We try to invite god in

without a home

Take a step back

Build up yourself

When your house is constructed

a need is fulfilled

You will have filled 

your god-sized hole

with something more

useful

When its lightless inside

light your own fire

Leave no corners for god to hide

There you'll find

God doesn't exist

but neither does your

emptiness

Imagination, as a child's

feared the dark

You illuminated

with education

of yourself, of other's hell

of acceptance, removing your shell

Ignorant

no more

your cave aglow

you share this love

and take it home
