when it's all done

the present
is but
a manifestation of past hurts.
hurts that you didn't even know
came hurtling your way.
but goes a long way
in explaining
your predicament.
your pitiful pight.
a quandry
nobody understands.
whether you know it or not.

alas! enlightment beckons.
the veil over your eye
lifted way off.
the truth greets you
the truth that hurts.
the lie ceases.
you crave change.
but fears grip your heart.
of the great unknown.
of unaccepting hearts.
will they ever understand?

with peace
that surpasses
all understanding
you take
the ultimate plunge
into the abyss
of the great unknown.
safe and secure.
in His promise.
