Reality by Joey Norwood

Reality

by Joey Norwood

Invisible worlds circle around me

demons and angels fight for this oul

reality cradles me

reality cradles me yet screams in unison

blinded for my protection

is all I am told

Scowling, clawing, panting, and chanting

devils lunge fast

but fall in dismay

Standing around me

a fortress, unyielding

encircled by heavens arms

by faith I can see

I fall to my knees

and enter doorways to heaven

I speak with my father

he misses his child

yet, through all the chaos

I find myself missing

the sound of his voice-

soothing and mild
