2. yearning

Where can I go from your spirit?
I cannot escape Your goodness.
As I run, I grow closer--
As deeper I run,
Your depths are revealed.

Was he put before me

To teach me of you?
I am sure of it.
Is his evil meant to expose your goodness?
Yes.

Now my will grows tired.
Now my desires are dull.
I cry out to you, Father--

RESTORE ME.

Grant me the rest your word assures.

I cry
And it's as though I am mute.
My will is subject to yours
Are my requests of substance?


There are times when I have laid awake hours,
My heart still trapped in stagnant dreams.

What dreams do we dream if they go unanswered?
Do they hold less worth?

Of all the dreams I have dreamed,
The most enduring seem subtle. Insignificant.
They are the one's where I  speak my heart


and you hear--
