"Rise"

A POEM by JIMI

Level me, upon the floor
The hammer pounds
Until I'm sore

The pain is assurance
I don't want to be rid
Or lifted of burden

A mellow tang
Or the hardest sock
A broken heart
Often results
The outcome ahead
The consequence now
Shower me with love

Gladly, I'll bow

The path of pain turns me around
A shallow cry
Without a sound

Inward I fell

You caused me to rise

I'll rise up to You,

So others, I'll tell.
