I Drown

by Don Roxburgh



I Drown

In the world


Of lies and cheating


Immorality and self-seeking


Lust                            


Envy          


       Pride


                           Greed


Living for the moment


Doing others down


Wanting everything


Giving nothing.


Do I live


Just for me?

Then a Hand

Holds my head up


A voice                    


whispers


                    "Truth"


I am lighter


Love that really cares


Friendship                 Praise


Generosity


Faithfulness


Honesty...          


I struggle against this


And begin to sink


I take it in and I am calm

Suddenly

There is rock beneath my feet


I start to walk


As I walk the ground rises


I come out of the soup


The Hand now clasps mine


The Voice says


"Beauty"


"My Creation"


I stand                       


                       Amazed


On dry land


Then


I let out a shout of joy


I am safe!
