ALONE AGAIN?

Am I alone, again, here?

Might I soon find my way…

Instead of tears…?

A cloud shadows the day,

Lingering, covering the light

Of a sun, seemingly distant…

Not near enough to burn off this night,

Enveloping my weary heart….

As I push against the shadows,

Gaining nothing from the start,

And find my mind unwilling to go,

Insisting on fighting this fight alone,

New words are whispered for me to know:

.

.

“No, not yet”, though worn, my heart is shown

“Only reach to break the clouds apart…

Instead of pushing, part the cloud to find

And reach for, with your wounded heart,

My outstretched hand and calm your mind

While I cleanse your pain

In the time needed, I’ll part

The cloud, bringing My Son in place of the rain

Healing your worn soul.

Yes, and though your sins may

Once again have filled your bowl

Until you feared even to pray,

ALWAYS My hand will bring cleansing and grace

ALWAYS allow My truth into the great liar’s place

ALWAYS want only Me in your heart for all of your days

ALWAYS I am the Lord God, deserving your praise.

ALWAYS know, my child,  …I am here,

ALWAYS!"
