Holy Ground

The Cleansing

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

it drew me to the water's edge

a voice floating in the mist

standing on salvations ledge

tracing the marks upon my wrists

it seemed to know where I was going

I knew it saw where I had been

in a vision clearly showing

a list exposing every sin

as I considered diving in the water

letting the darkness drag me down

it spoke to me and said, "my daughter"

"did you forget, you wear a crown?"

as I gazed down, I saw my image

standing proudly, unashamed

I could see love had no limit

as he called me by my name

when I looked up, the sun was shining

the air was clear and full of sound

and I knew somehow, where I was standing

was my own sacred, holy ground
