I have been writing a lot the past few months, including many poems. Some are more like Poem Prayers and some have been answered. I like to write in a way others might be able to connect with. I also feel writing allows my soul to breathe. This one is particularly close to my heart and has been answered - I wrote on Sunday August 10th 2008: Be at peace O restless soul of mine This anguish will be gone in time. Sit, rest, and be still You do not know His plan or Will. Every step feels like the last Every breath...it´s all so fast. The world is spinning, lost and confused, My passion for life has been short fused. Send me a prayer, a signal, a sign, Whisper ¨I love you, You´ll always be Mine¨ For with out you I´m lost, I´m scared, I´m alone So I ask once again..Daddy please bring me home. I make it so close and I sit on the porch, But something prevents me from grabbing that torch. With a gust of wind and the dark of night I´m running again, somehow I´m in flight. Don´t know where I´m going or where I´ll end up, So I just keep on running & running until I am stuck. Then I try to cry out...but think ¨what´s the use¨, I´ve cried a thousand times before, now what´s my excuse? So I sit and wait... I try to at least, For you to come and slay this Beast. My mind says to run, while my soul gasps for air. I need the Breath of life, I need You to share... The Love you have promised and the hope for new life, The ability to choose Joy in the midst of my strife. And so I Scream ¨SILENCE..this can NO longer be¨ And I beg of you Lord to please come Find me. |
