Manic Adoration
written by: Scott Thomas Outlar
@17Numa
O God, I want to be overwhelmed
by something sweeter than
the sour grapes
of harvests past
by a symphony sung
from the lips of a choir
that has cast out all sirens
by a single shot
of adrenaline
not manufactured in a lab
O Lord, I wish to be consumed
by the maddened cry
that heralds laughter
beyond sorrow’s edge
by the howling scream
of a righteous wind
come fiercely
by the final plunge
into a vast expanse
promising vistas unparalleled
