be still and know...

the sun was ready to blindfold me

but just then i woke up.
deliberately, i put on my mask
determined to face the world - 
strong and brave, confident and secure.
as time passes by, the heavier it becomes

til the burden sinks so deep within
only loneliness can find it.
oh how i long to lay it down,
but where do i rest this heavy load?
i enter my inner sanctum
searching, hoping, praying.
and as i crumble to my knees
I call out HIS name - JAH!!!
R-A-S-T-A-F-A-R-I...
