Till We Have Faces


The leaves, they turn and frolic in their innocence
We touch them, expecting the coldness of their earthen squander.
We have lost to mankind.

Perched on the tree, stoops a vulture
We find comfort in ourselves, we don't look back
Ponder yourself, as you muster your courage.
Seek for yourself your truth.

Unmask your despair, face your iniquities, your demons
Take heart, and know that you are loved.
Among all the creatures, you are not alone.
We have lost to mankind.

The grass is damp under your feet from its morning bliss.
We touch them, hoping they grant us the audacity to persevere
We have not yet lost to mankind.

Poised in front of us is a lion
We gaze at its infernal gaze, paralyzed by fear.
Revitalize your mind, steady your heart, and take heed.
Fight your battles wisely, and leave nothing unturned.

Remove from your complexion all that hinders.
Feel the wind graze your heart, you are loved.
You, who are valued above all the animals.
Pray that you do not lose to mankind.

Pray that you will venture forth,
Until we live again,
Until we win again,
and most importantly, until we have faces.

We expect the evil before expecting goodness, due to our experiences; the devil has won us with his goal of us to view life negatively rather than positively and settle for what he wants instead of looking at the possibilities that God has for us. There is danger ahead of us….the danger of the Devil….the danger of starting life too young or prematurely and falling into his plans rather than Gods. But we ignore it because we are too wrapped up in love to think logically. We need to be wise with our decisions and where our life is going so as to not fall into the Devil’s trap. Stop accepting that life is full of these terrible things, stop making mistakes with the excuse that they have been made before, expect MORE, expect better, otherwise you will never gain better….you are settling. Just because we are in this battle with one another and I have suddenly changed my perspectives, don’t think that it means I don’t love you. Through these difficult times, remember that God loves you too.
We have to mend ourselves if we do not want to lose our lives to ignorance, youth, evil, etc.
Time has passed from Fall to Spring (from dying leaves to damp grass) and we now view the world with more happiness, we have grown and listened to our warnings so we have not yet lost our battle.
Before there was a vulture to fear [the devil] but now there is a lion to fear [God] and although there is fear in both, we are now on the right track towards whom is the right to be fearing…this is a different fear; a fear for the good, not the bad.
There is much ahead but as long as we remember to think wisely and not with our emotions, we can win.
Wipe away your past for it will only interfere with our future.
Know that you are loved through all of these hard times and changes. We were meant for God’s purposes and plans and not our own.
Keep persevering mentally, emotionally, and most important-spiritually and we will return to this battle again, but not until we have made a name for ourselves and a life for ourselves.
