The Throne
You know
I could drone on like the typical sad poet
But then I thought, “today
I don’t have to do that at all”
Yes there is darkness, evil, and ugliness
But there is also light, good, and beauty
I get to choose which one to focus on
Even in the midst of the chaos
I can settle right into the midst of the order
Even in the midst of death
I can choose to continue to live
And love
For that might just be the key
To love in the midst of everything
Might just be the source of all freedom
The source of all light, all good, all beauty
So I want to rest there
I want to run there
I want to sleep there
I want to dwell there
The place where I choose love over all other things
Might just be the most powerful place in the universe
