legion and light

the legion of demons —

named as men,

under the guise of holiness,

of closeness,

of perfection.

first in line

to the fruitful darkness.

I was one way —

consumed by brokenness,

lost in the wilderness,

a taste of hell

in a world begging to be left behind.

now, I am another —

clothed in His armor,

the first to know,

the first to see.

what happened in between

was Him.

a sacrifice.

an example.

a mercy I could never earn.

once the first one in,

now the first into the light.

Love.

Joy.

Peace.

Patience.

Kindness.

Goodness.

Gentleness.

Self-control.
