Seismic Shift

I want to experience a seismic shift
a kind of earthquake of the soul if you will
I want to feel the plates inside grind
as who I should be slides into
who I so often am

I want to watch the cracks form on the surface
and swell into ever widening gaps
wide enough to swallow who I was
I want a rift to form so deep so massive
between my mistakes, sins, my past
so that I can see us standing side by side
and at last will find rest.

I want to stand looking at the newly formed
landscape of myself, in absolute awe
of the beauty of your creation.
and the same way we marvel at mountainous
rock formations, I want to celebrate
what you have done.
