Deep in His Wounds

You are so
Deep in the wounds that bury you
They cover you
Till you can't see the sky
Enveloping
The light that was given you
Surrounding you
From darkness you can't seem to hide

All you see
Is an imaginary slit of light
That was in your sight
Before the wound closed over you
Now it's clear
The darkness is not right
But if you cannot hide
Then what is there to do?

Watching you
They see more of the reality
Surrounding pieces
That makes sense of this darkness
But they watch
From above the fray; they're free
From pain you feel in 3D
Their view is wider, but two dimensions

From above
You're standing in the wound
Surrounded by good
It's so close they can almost taste it
From below
All you see are the walls of pain
Screaming your name
And thoughts of apparent good seem distant

It's okay
If you can't stop the tears
The Light is also here
These are His wounds you're standing in
You thought He
Left with the memory
Of that slit of light you see
When you saw the darkness closing in

He is the
Wound that's holding you
His light is pointing you
Down painful paths you'd not be trav'ling
If walls of
Pain hadn't closed in on you
Divinely guiding you
To know Him deeper in your suffering
