Include me


When i heard him say

that only God is real

and that my sins, when in relationship with God

will be seen as secondary

something just to release

when in relationship with God.

I went for a long walk after hearing that,

and I am back, thus, to my old, new name- Isaac.

Time to make a change in my soul.

And I spoke with my namesake
i spoke with Isaac from the Bible, now a great, celestial being capable of guidance and friendship,
and he loved me, and I was reminded of what happened the last time I was “Isaac”

it was crazy
and I almost lost myself-
lost for neglecting to pay attention to myself as I moved about
seeking God and Truth- often seeking it from devils.

and I was almost obliterated- of my own folly

And Jesus found me, a desperate moment,
and I jolted awake with knowledge of whose floor I laid upon
and with who

and I bust out that house and onto the street
The shock and terror of them tracing me, seeking the chink of strength in me to destroy it
as my distance between them grew, still not fully acknowledging it to my aware mind.

They…. them- seekers of other souls that they could take of the milk and blood,
and destroy the mirrors that reflect them as in beams of God’s Light
Feeding off of God’s teets (the human body),
with eyes shut tight, with greed and malice,
They fed off of my delusions like it was sacred milk that kept them alive.

Ohh, the first time I was “Isaac”
the first time I was Isaac,

Ohhhh,

Ohhhhh,

Now, I am better, no?
If I remember only God is real,
can I withstand this change?
If I simply release the sin from my soul,
and the sin of others hated by me,
will I, again, survive?
If I remember myself?

I and God, as Isaac says-
Include me.
You still have Jason,
but include, also, me.
