Dawn & Dusk

I feel beneath my feet
The ruins of a foundation
A groundwork that was laid
But was completely wasted

A life spent
But spent in vain
Now these stones
Are just a source of shame

I prepare to break
These reminders up
But something in me
Causes me to stop

My failed foundation
My so-called shame
I realise that I
Want it to remain

So that when God’s tower
Of restoration is finished
It is clear to all
It was not I who built it
