The Scroll Inside My Bones

A poem of irresistible divine purpose

I did not choose this calling.
It chose me.
It wrote itself into my marrow
before I knew language.

Every breath I take
turns pages.
Every heartbeat
unseals another line.

I tried to silence the voice
but it spoke from within.
I tried to run
but my bones carried the blueprint.

Destiny is not a decision.
It is a discovery.
It rises
from inside the structure of your being.

This is why I cannot quit.
This is why surrender is not an option.
The scroll is alive
and it insists on being read
through my life.

I am the message
unfolding.

-Joe Restman, Eternal Witness of the Lamb.
