"Remedy"

"Man Praying in the Field" on scripturedoc.com

Emotions like pain,
from the sky they rain,
wetting me until I’m soaked and aching all over, 
desperately trying to find that R-righteousness to secure me, 
that E-everlasting faith God has shown me,
M-mercury so potent it sticks and remains toxic,
E-enter, intercede, take control, 
D-drive the demon that tries to capture me,
away, away I Y-yell in hopes my voice is heard, pierced into the 

eardrums of innocence, into the distress, into the untouchable. 
I reach for your hand, I stand on tiptoes to get a good look at your face, 
your beautiful sweet face whose eyes are so fixated on every 
detail outlining the delicate curves which inflame my body 
making light out of darkness. 
Strong, strong, I stand on the podium that secure, safe place.
Don’t give in. 
Take the remedy.
