| DRIFTING |
 |
| Why does my heart feel sad As through this world I roam? The feeling of losing what I had, Hangs over me like a dome. Surrounding my countenance hiding The fear of being alone again. Where is the spirit that was abiding In my life, I feel nothing but pain. The prints of my steps are leading away, From the path that was once my home. Misery and misunderstanding sway Back and forth in my eye alone. Darkness and deep regret have hold What is this that hangs on so tight? If only my thought were bold I'd fight them with all my might. There is One who can lift me out But have I sunk in too far? Oh, Spirit that is in my soul, "shout" And give me the strenght to impart The faith that lives inside of me The tempter is trying to steal I call out, "oh how can this be?" For I know that my God is real! So go away Satan and hide your face, Away from the light within me, Upon His strength I fully base, The power that can set me free. Flowers on the walls displayed Blues, grays, mauve, and beige, Four walls that are closing in Why can't I get out again. Stiffled in its ruthless grip While my sould is being split Asunder in these walls of gray Day after day after day. Going deeper and deeper into sadness, The Things of life are becoming madness. Look up, I did and glimpsed a tiny hole, I stared at it for hours looking for goals. There has to be something for me out there What if I go and the pain I can't bear? Just for a walk He says, I might as well be dead, The journey back was painful.... stay instead. Years have passed me by and yet I feel as though I have no regrets How can this be, when I have missed so much, But He allows me to know by His tender touch, The mind is complex and surreal, Sometimes it's hard to feel. The reality of what is to be, But somehow, you are brought to reality. God is the Healer of broken hearts, He took mine when it was torn apart, And put it back together again, Without the doubt, fear, and the sin. And he can do the same for you If only you would allow Him too!!! Written By Shirley Barr August 7, 2004 All Rights Reserved |
