Symbols
The Symbol of absolute freedom
The Symbol of total falsity
The perfectly measured out blocks of wood conjoined in the high center of one and the dead center of another.
Nailed together in the epicenter to form a shape known to all
Known to all
Believed by some
Forgotten by many
A symbol of grim endings
A symbol of fresh creation
For years it stood on the hill the rays of the ever brightening sun leaking through the growing cracks of the aging timber
A sight that can be described by pure and utter beauty
To the minds of those that know it, believe it and forgotten it the sight of brute pain, engulfing anguish, and crippling lies
Knowing that this was the site that was meant to forgive you
Knowing that this is the place where you should turn from it
This is the place where you see you have fallen to sin
Fallen in
Fallen into the world that surrounds your darkening brain as it fills itself up with the pleasures that you tried for years to keep out
As it brings itself to the cave that you though was demolished
Your knees are green and damp mimicking the current state of your face
Your body is the rain cloud for the patch of grass and dirt the stands just before the wooden vessel of realizations
The soil that fills your hands below you seems as though it is in the wrong place
Sky
You
Dirt
You feel the order is wrong
You want to switch the order to make more sense To make it resemble where you feel you should be
But that’s not how it should be
That’s now he wants it to be
This symbol of Grace
This Symbol of Forgiveness
This Symbol of Joy
Peace
Unending Love
Was meant to raise you up like the one that once rested upon its splintered glory
Get up!
