AWARD Resurrection | Open Mic Monday- Just Tonya B.

?AWARD Resurrection?

I?ve done battle with Satan and his minions

their flesh has tasted my blade

formed from my sharp tongue

to be welcomed home by no hero?s parade

still a dark cloud hangs low

graying souls in the land

alone in a cave

I nurse wounds fatal to mortal man

calibrating my mental

for it seems

every battle must be fought as if a last stand

until the last grain of sand

leaves the world?s hourglass

and God is triumphant

my hand in his

pulling me towards heaven

while with my free limbs

I still ravage the wicked

writing this poetry and speaking his truth

dripping worldly sins from my ink;

my flesh still trying to find a use

cut by my own blade

Redemption merges with abuse.

At the time I wrote this piece my business was crumbling and I was about to enter the corporate workforce. I had just found out I had a child on the way and there was quite a bit of uncertainty in my life. I felt alone with no one to turn to, but the common theme of much of my work surfaces, I will never give in. I will never quit. This poem is meant to be the leading piece on my return from hiatus. The title of which maybe a forthcoming book. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you and your readers.
