Set ablaze with hellish fury

Always close to my heart
Support against engulfing waves
Sharing joys and grief
Strength when steps falter.

Almighty loving God, enthroned everywhere
I thank you for all the blessings in my life
Ask forgiveness for my grievous offending sins
Which are legion weighing heavy upon my soul.

Trembling in our innocence
Naked and easy upon the grass
Explored our curiosity and desire.

Hard as nails, hearts like iron
Filled my sleep with nightmares
Memories breaking all asunder

Begging forgiveness.

Standing beside a goldfish pond
Motionless and quiet
Eyeing darting fish

Man cannot live by bread alone
Water is more precious than gold

The ebbing of the light
Nor dread the engulfing darkness.
