Expressions
When my spirit first rises in the new day,
My soul longs to feel comfort – to be wanted and fed in a new way!
I lift my eyes toward the sky;
The void, the emptiness and pain, I feel, asking myself why?
Looking toward the morning sun-
Your rays of warmth floods my heart,
Even though broken and undone!
Walking on distant shores, barefoot in the sand;
The sea breeze gently brushes my arm – suddenly I feel the touch of your hand!
Thru sandy shores and the roar of the tide;
I hear your voice in the wind and water right by my side!
The mist and moisture of the ocean;
Your breath is felt gently against my neck and skin like a kiss or lotion.
Quickly I turn and face the wind with out stretched arms open wide;
Inhaling, I breathe in your breath like a kiss to my lips to confide!
In the low clouds and fog, I see your hair against your face;
Just the thought tugs my heart beat to race!
Walking thru the sand and tide;
I fall down to my knees with my face to hide….
With each wave that goes out and comes in;
Like the tide that crashes; my crushed spirit feels it within!
Days, weeks and months go by
Sometimes just feel so weary I want to go ahead and cry….
Expressions of joy and yes sometimes discouragement and sadness makes me realize;
It’s thru our weakness, our struggles He makes us stronger!in healing He helps me visualize!
In my darkest hour and brightest moments I know your footsteps are always near me;
No matter the day or hour, in my thoughts n prayers, I am always with thee!
