Imagine If Poem by Matt Mooney

Oh God above forgive me
In the middle of this night;
Yet by the power of Heaven
The universe is all but mine.

I hear the silence and it means
I'm on my own. I'm here.

The mirror of this moment's real.
What I see I also deeply feel:
The shape and size of my own cell.

The door's the first I see so well:
It's in my eyes, it's always closed;
It's never mine the space it's in-
The prison owns that piece of light
And stores it up far out of sight.
It's not for me but my day will come:
I'll stand there free like everyone
To take the road that starts off there;
So maybe now I'll say a prayer.

Thank God I have this time to think
Of how I stepped back from the brink.
I'm still your friend-I hope so God.
The walls say yes to me aloud.

My bed is there behind me flat:
Dreams come seldom where I'm at.

Not too far off another day
Will slowly push the heavy stone away
That makes this place so like a tomb
And I will travel towards the light;
I'll leave this room, I'll leave this womb,
I'm on my painful journey down.
It's awful dark. I'm on my own.

Now black is not that black at all-
If it fades much more I'm going to fall!

Little light of day, my eyes are open.
I'm glad my God that You have spoken:
Now I am yours and you are mine-
Daylight at last and still there's time.
