Towards The Other Side

God
is great
i say
over, over
in my head
it makes room for the pain
that grows steady
then retreats
to come again
a tide
a moon pattern
inevitable…
no escape.
I hide
under the covers
of this forgotten den
ignoring the chest wound
Clinging,
to
knowing God
has something,
planned
on the other side.
