Meditations on God

In my denial of Christ
restlessness
irritability
and discontentment
consumed me
an insatiable soul
tortured me
sin and suffering
overcame me
an unquenchable thirst
tormented me
but all of my efforts
were pointless and empty
like a drop of rain
on barren desert sands
a living Hell
Lord may I never
deny you again
