The Ruins of Me in the Shadow of You

You have ruined me from the start
and I am taking it to heart
that You are slowly unraveling my frame
then piecing it together into something more tame
[not docile, just aware of my limits]

my limits are where You set them to be
my limits are as far as I can see
my limits are as much as I stop and just be

without You the air my lungs would cease
the atoms in my body would split
into a million sparks of light
fading off unto some distant shore
setting course and letting go
Keeper of the Winds
decide my fate upon this terrible sea
for You have crafted me in the depths
reaching down from the heights

to comprehend all that You are
would be an injustice
[to calculate what You are not
would be unfathomable]

all things were
all things are
all things will be
through You
all things exist

knowing this, how can i be complacent
comfortable or apathetic
You have rescued me from an ordinary life
and set me on track for failure
[failure in You is anything but]
