Pebbles Along the Path

As we walk down our road, from time to time we notice pebbles along our way. Sometimes they're nothing more than pretty little stones, but other times they are there to remind us of battles we have fought, demons we have conquered, or even times that we've lost and learned valuable lessons in the losing. We can choose to leave the pebbles where they are and forget, or we can pick up the pebbles and turn them into markers--reminders of our journey and the lessons learned.

to those who changed my life by their deceit

why do you suppose
that it is okay
to state that black is white?

why do you suppose
that god will be in favor
of your deceit?

do you really think
that pretending to be one thing
is just or right?

i trusted you,
i followed you,
i thought that you were real.

but you let deception in,
and in doing so,
you forgot yourself.

i long for the days gone by,
days when it was joy to worship with you.
those days are long gone.

now, all is different.
all is strange
and i no longer fit in.

i have long since moved on.
i have found peace in a new place,
but i still remember.
