those dream moments would stay
and all day
would be lazy
and full
filled to the rim with moments by a pool
dipping into the cool
mystery
that lurks below
or the jumping and sliding
cascading down
hills covered in snow
and yet
I regret to say
it is not so
though this world is beautiful
it is broken
twisted
torn
it is rubbed in
scratched and worn
for all our trying, buying and distracting
at the end we will always come up with what we're lacking
and how we need more
when really it is all a war
a war for our mind
a war for our soul
a war for control
and so as the world plunges at you with
this and with that
and your hopes are shattered
and fall with a splat
fill your world with songs and birds
flowers and sweet words
know that you are not alone
and though it feels it
this is not the end
You are loved, cherished, wanted
my dear dear friend
and you are not being deserted or left to die
left sitting and asking why
no, step by step He is lovingly taking your hand
and opening your heart to understand
He is here
ever near and always giving
He is bright and He is living
and He will surely be the light
that comes on at night
when all your fears are churning
and your heart is writhing and burning
and desire after desire creeps in
yes
He is there too
walking with you
holding you
He is.. "the first, the last,
our future and our past"
He is with you
Lord, please give us faith..
