So many things to tell
So much to think about
Pages turning so quickly
I can't believe my thoughts
All around me lies and open sea
Of thoughts and emotions
Captive by fears and frustrations
Worries and pain
Uncertainty and weariness
Hope exhausted by a lonely state
Of being alone in the world
Emptiness curtails the very
Thought of being here at all.
The Son gives light but ever
So far away that it seems forever
The light is dim, I can't see very well.
Why can't I see?
Longing anxiously for a place
To call home where who I am
What I've been and what I am
Becoming is sheltered so softly
I whisper to hear the voice
Of the one who restores my soul
Deep within the heart of
Everlasting forgiveness
Kneeling down, cradled by
Serenity a lasting pressure
Aimed at shaping, forming
The innermost sanctuary of my heart
I taste the goodness with its
Sweetness, melting slowly on
My tongue, never to be lost
Long after it's gone
Sunlight fair covers my face
No more empty tears
Only joy lasting forever
I am wrapped up and warm
Leaving behind the thoughts
Of yesterday, I see tomorrow
Its hopes and dreams
And I am whole
