The Switch

gray0328

 

faith flickers like a tired bulb,  

prayer hums, a wire stretched taut.  

hands move, reaching for the switch,  

but the room stays dark, hollow.  

 

service is the hand that grips,  

the unseen surge humming, alive.  

a connection sparking beneath skin,  

current steady, sent through miles.  

 

without action, there's no lightning,  

no warmth crackling in the veins.  

movements of purpose ignite glow,  

a flood of light, purposeful folly.  

 

God watches, a silent powerhouse,  

waiting for hands to close gaps,  

to let loose the energy buzzing,  

to press the switch that saves.

    A great metaphor here Gray. The connection made by the action of closing the switch. As you began I first had visions of an electric chair and what a shocking experience, jolted into another life. Nicely done

    Well done, my friend.
