Depart From Thee


Wounds, that illuminate...
That spirit, that planted the seed…
unknown!
Just a biological relationship…
is not a home.

The soul
knows you not…
Depart from thee.

Fatherless kids, tend to imitate…
Abandonment
is emulated…
Creating generational cycles
unappreciated.

The soul
knows you not…
Depart from thee.

The child grows outwardly…
not inwardly
emptiness remains
bitterly.

The soul
knows you not…
Depart from thee.

Fatherless, birth
myriad of maladies…
diminishing self-worth.
It creates risk
greater tragedies.

The soul
knows you not…
Depart from thee.

Giving account
unto God
whilst doing  
a wrong, for wrong
does not, make right.

Drawing nearer to Christ
God is setting souls free.
Our judgmental transgressions…
Please!
Depart from thee.

The pursuit of awareness
welcomes clarity
Forgiveness, broke the chain
Your affliction
gives a different perspective
beneath the pain.

He restores the soul
He leadeth
in the path, of righteousness.

Manifestation
of A Divine bond
Father, we understood
your silent respond

Spirit-to-spirit, connection
unfold.
A longing
for God’s love...
sweet
to thine soul.

Freedom
brought peace
the inner man, is free.
Delighting, in your presence
Please!
Father!

Don’t let your spirit…
Depart from thee.
