Abandoned

Why did you leave me?
All alone I weep,
waiting, hoping for your return.
But it is in vain,
for you are gone
and I am abandoned.
If you have left, why should I stay?
So I abandon myself.
I may seem to be here
but I am not.
It is the shell that even I have abandoned.
I have retreated,
hidden away in the darkness I have created.
No one wants me
so I have put myself out of reach.
Even I cannot reach myself.
I am lost,
gone, never to return.
Unless
some kind soul shows me the way back,
the way back to myself,
shows me tha I am not truly abandoned.
Will that person come?
Will they reach out to the unreachable?
Or do I, yet again,
wait in vain?

The Lost

Buddahs and incense
Feng Shui and crystals
all set to mislead the lost.

Helpless souls
searching for truth
but shunning where truth can be found.

TV and radio
laughing at Christians.
Satan tries bringing us down.

Modern media
drawing the lost
claiming to fill all their needs.

Stars and celebrities
stealing the show
gaining from misdirected worship.

Jesus and God
the Holy Trinity
drawing the lost to their love.

Jesus and God
loving the lost
ready to fulfill their lives.
