My Light on the Horizon
Too tired to reach Too worn to seek Dragging my stumbling feet Waiting for my reprieve Anchored and out of reach Longing to rise and speak I try but my voice is weak Afloat but I'm moored to the beach When will joy be the song of my heart? Lord, I'm worn I don't know [...]
Wings
Too long I've been grounded Lord, where are my wings? Please teach me of Your glory Until my heart sings. May my wings then unfold Lift me high in the air When I'm down on my knees Lord, please meet me there. Too long I've been grounded Lord, where are my wings? Please teach me [...]
First Thirst
Lord, the world is so full of beautiful things The sights and sounds of all that life brings How quickly we adore created things Before the one who brought all into being. Lord help us to remember what must come first Bind our hearts to Yours and teach us to thirst For the things that [...]
Remind Me
When I'm struggling to concentrate Can't see anything new Lord, help me to remember everything You do. When I'm trying to move forward But it seems I'm standing still Lord, help me to remember that I can trust Your sovereign will. When I don’t understand Lord, help me to take Your hand I don’t want [...]

Immediately this poem came to my mind. I regretted deleting it, but then I remembered it was probably [...]

Reliance
"The world is a treacherous place," She bemoaned. "Don't you walk in the Light?" He reminded her. You have my hand. Just hold on tight." "I don't loath trials, Lord, but I'm scared of tests. "After all," she confessed, "I'm only flesh!" "Give ear to my Spirit, and abide in the truth. I promise you, [...]
Worn
I lost it last night. I don't know what happened. I believed what I wrote in "Rest." I believed that I was doing better and that I would find that balance, but then I lost it. Something that disappointed me came to mind. Unfortunately, I've kind of got stuck on analyzing everything. I wanted to [...]
Behind the Poem (Far Away)
I wrote this poem below back in October. I thought that I had deleted it as I felt that it was too depressing. I'm generally a positive person, but I do have my struggles, and I can hide how I've been feeling. When I reconnected with the friend that I mentioned in "Peace Talks" I [...]
