I bathed in a pool of blood
daily and without shame
focused on a principle of justice
that in my heart, began to flood
I spoke my truth
and lead my path
where I wound up lost
in the blood of my wrath
but today I saw yellow on the walls
like the sun rising on Sunday morning
and in my pool of red
I began shamefully crying and mourning
I began to sink to the bottom
of the abyss
when I felt Your firm hand
grip my wrist
I was covered in the filth of red
yet not a single speck
could be found on Your face
Your head
when I could not get the taste of metal
from my mouth
the pool became crystal clear
and I drank till my body began to settle
I feel you wrap Your robe around my soul
and wring it out
drawing love in
and draining away wicked shouts
the scales on my eyes have fallen away
like Saul becoming Paul
I have heard my name,
be chosen, be called
today, I see yellow
and remember I drowned
In the blood I drew
from the Man in the thorned crown
When in death I was wakened
in a clear blue pool
My Thorn Crowned King
forgave and embraced, his child-the fool.
