Gambling for Second
Chance
My hands were still clamped in
prayer as I let go
Dancing dice with white dresses stained with black
holes
They needed patching, as well as my damned soul
Was the black
cloth what I was searching for
With religion to sew the deeds my morals
wore
A holy seamstress hesitated to tend to my snags
Pages of the bible
stapled to my barbaric rags
But as I took each step, His word peeled
off
As if he was christening the very path I walked
But No…
I
dared to look behind, and see the pages disappear
Cowering in the cracks,
crumpled out of fear
What does this mean…
Hands pressed in prayer,
wind stripping me of spirituality
I prayed to be haunted, Holy Spirit grace
my morality
My hands were still clamped in prayer as I let go
Dancing
dice with white dresses stained with black holes
Denied a second chance
at life, denied his affection
One page remained…
Ripping off the
page, in frustration of rejection
Eyeing one word, a second chance at life,
your resurrection
I never saw the dice touch the
floor.
