My own Almighty
I am god.
At least my own.
I pray to myself,
Aware, with faith
That my own Deism
will cleanse my sins.
My calloused hands
Roam and intertwine
amongst one another.
Creating and sculpting,
Molding my own world,
My choices and consequences
To be determined by my Craft.
Whether it be my turmoil
Or my salvation,
It’s mine to create.
My now or my future
Decisions give shelter
To Sorrow, angst,
joy and fulfillment.
They dance among eachother,
Running down my fingertips.
Eager and waiting
To be woven into
My life’s tapestry.
These are my hands,
My own sacred utensils
Capable and driven by
Their own divine power.
I decide what thread they weave.
I cast out my prayers,
Knowing I myself am capable
Of answering them
Whatever potential my hands may hold,
I give faith to my God.
For my hands can raise mountains,
As easily as they can lay them
In ruin.
And with that
I find peace.
