Antidote to Deception by Jill Autrey Dorman

Exposure

I lie down under the burden
of the courage that I lack

choices matter

what we cannot see
we readily imagine

Soldier

I’ve always been a soldier
I did not recognize the war

The Beginning of Wisdom

I am a ruin, only pieces of me stand.
I was a fool and knew only nonsense.

The Key Hole

Peeping through the key hole
in someone Else’s dream

Light the Match

In spite of all you’ve said
it’s never been in your hands

Gratitude

I walk by the shore the tide is out
The moon wanes half past blue

New Agony

I thought I had known agony
least ways had tasted its’ edges

Ecclesiastes

There are no new words that I can write,
No way to change the world tonight

Axe to the Tree

when Life is not always
a merry Tale

Midnight Hour

Time is not a matter here
in the midnight hour

A Promise Kept

I felt God alive today
what made the difference

Psalm 73

That familiar ache of longing
stings my heart again
my flesh and mind are failing
The Spirit within my only defense

Transparent in my neediness
finds me once again
Vulnerable to the hurt of man
the certain pain begins

I declare you are my strength
The lover of my soul
I surely would have fallen
unless my God had taken hold.
