God Said Today

Do you really think you can just put it in the safe, behind a painting, lock it up and leave? But if it went away, I'll get over it now, I'll get money, I'll get funny again. You expected something, something better than before. You expected something more.

To stand with silence as music, to dance with no movement. To see the worth of all around is my true motivation, my pure wants and needs mixed as one.
To stand in the middle of an empty path. No roads, no houses, no trees, no hills, no grass, no nothing. Just dirt that resolves to every grain of my life, a sky above that says there is more. Not to know, to have or to hold, not knowledge or wisdom, it is his. He says there is more to give, so I keep moving. I walk away along the flat path, a life miles upon miles away. My bones ache and my heart says this is so ever pointless, but I keep moving.
To have lost one, then another, then a million more. I lost all humanity that once surrounded, and now I am crowded with space. Insanity results with no one around, mystery is excluded by ignorance and a dry throat has left me with nothing to say. God said today, I set you free from your cage, go and live life from page to page. My body left but did not my soul, and so it corrodes in the metal prison.
To finally stand before a mountain tall, this is where the commitment compensates. God called and said he'd grant me glory for a climb, a better story. I walked up the roundabout path, I reached the top. There was nothing to find. God was a voice and life was my choice, and it was to stand but I corroded it within my hands, as I am acid. I am the problem.
To know I could have never died, I cried...and cried..and cried.
