		<description><![CDATA[
Here lies a sanctuary
An overly picked buffet
Tossed, torn, thrown about
Ravaged by the hands of man
An innocent solace
A pure light
Wrecked in a justified collision
Seethed in arrogance
Embattled in bitterness
Lost to ignorance

Careening through this gentle journey
The calming water guiding us home
Progressing forward without warning
Unaware of the coming doom
Light gives way to enclosing darkness
The waves bellow as they batter our vessel
Sudden terror encapsulates our consciousness
All will be lost if this storm prevails
Shaken and shattered we seek shelter
Shelter that can bring solace to the storm
Bruised, we reach out <a href='http://secondrestoration.com/2010/01/14/jolted-reliance/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Undeserving grace abounds
Lost in understanding mercy
I struggle to find peace
Forever indebted
A gift or a curse
I cannot repay my debt
It follows me
Forever stained
Absolution defies logic
Blamelessness irrational
Forgiveness even questionable
Forever unimaginable
Will you rescue me?
There seems no reason
My actions are repulsive
Forever repeated
Where is my condemnation?
Where is my justice?
I deserve no less
Forever guilty
Your offer is hard to believe
Your offer is <a href='http://secondrestoration.com/2009/07/07/forever-illogical/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Battered by draining thought
Minutes of physicality wasting away
The ever pressing loss
The ever pressing reality
I collapse, an empty shell
An outer coating of a man
Internally vacant
Internally empty
Hope escapes me
Anger rides me
Defeated I lie
Defeated I die
Lift me from my grave
Position me with your hands
Pull me from the water
Pull me from the darkness
Make your victory in me
Battle the evil <a href='http://secondrestoration.com/2009/07/01/revival/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Night sets in,
Wind unsettling the bare branches,
The frigid air, turning exposed skin a deep red,
Mind and body, sit like stone.
The stone does not react,
The stone does not reply,
The stone does not recall,
The stone is silent.
It sits unmoved by its surroundings,
The passing of those on the street,
The turbulent sounds that fly its direction,
It is motionless and <a href='http://secondrestoration.com/2009/05/04/complacency/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
