Sunset Jesus
That one made me laugh
As we laugh at the parallels
And avoid the big problem
And maybe I’m just that,
Not trying to start a new religion
Not trying to be a god
Just trying to fill this place with something that might convince someone
Let’s say
Something that got its own broken beliefs
And wanted to write their own story
If it tells anything
Let it be that it reaches the eyes of those with
Maybe they’ll feel something
It asked who would tell my story as I faded into the night
I said Me
Because of course I did
That’s not a monumental task at all
I feel like I know more now than when I started
I think there is some progress there
Granted I’m not going to read through it all to check
I definitely feel like a sacrifice
I feel like the only way to make a difference is to die
And I am, in fact, afraid
Terrified
Faith is a hard thing to have when nothing has ever been concrete
Fleeting, uncanny moments
Things I can’t explain to anyone else
Like oh yeah I was listening to the Owl and then an owl flew by hooting
Which was uncanny because no one knows who the Owl is
Only me and these beings I’ve shared my secrets with
Or when I’m feeling drawn to a spot in the sky and then a shooting star happens
Or when the Sun grabbed my shoulder and I looked up and there was a rainbow of fire
They all have this Timing
I feel like I’ve stumbled and landed between realms sometimes
I do not know what I am
I know I don’t have any real power
I am but a squishy flesh thing on strings led by great beings
I’m not here to make anyone worship anything
Though Sol certainly wouldn’t mind if you did, he’s just as needy as I am
I just want to document my life on this Earth as I am
I’ll die when he tells me it’s time
If he’s still waiting for me
