My heart once soared with joy
and I touched the realm of peace,
And now I dwell in the perils of evil
Reeking with temptations, turmoil and havoc.
Broken, shattered, distressed.
Dreams laden with desolation haunt my nights
As they turn into endless days.
They are one in the same.
With no ...
My heart once soared with joy
and I touched the realm of peace,
And now I dwell in the perils of evil
Reeking with temptations, turmoil and havoc.
Broken, shattered, distressed.
Dreams laden with desolation haunt my nights
As they turn into endless days.
They are one in the same.
With no return to love in sight
I sit, wait, fade and erode
Into someone or something I do not know.
Fear consumes me.
Fear of loss and love.
Fear of fallen hope, desires, and dreams.
Fears that veil my existence.
Is suffering a choice or are we predestined to it?
Look to the sky.
It is clearing now.
The strength is building,
Rising like the intrepid phoenix.
Out of the ashes morphing into
Ethereal beauty……the quest reveals the beginning
Which was once the end.

I am not who I am.
Who am I?
What do I desire?

Freedom from pain and affliction?
Flight above all.
Soaring. Drifting. Never falling.
Achievement is attained…

Through love.
Through the Holy Spirit.
Through death.
Through Christ.
Through life.

Not life as we know it.
In eternity peace comforts us.
Holds us in His grace.

Amen I say, Amen.
