My Creator is mine and I am His.
I am from Him and myself alone.
All the days of my life,
till dawn meets dawn.
I’m nesting in His love and do not need more.
Till time doesn’t exist anymore.

Only through faith we can live and love and be at peace..
I cannot let people in
I cannot let you get through
I cannot take down these walls
I do not know what to do

I built these walls for a reason
Looking back it all makes sense
I learned not to share myself
Naive misguided self defense

Now I have outgrown this prison
I don't want to be alone
How can I convince myself
That I am worthy to be known?

This is an act of defiance
Walls can't stop me when I write
No doors here
But words are windows
Screaming out into the night
Hear the dripping branches sing
when the icy breath of winter
melts to kiss the waiting lips of spring
I’ll be there when you call
I’ll be there if you fall
In you I’ve found my future
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

I will watch while you sleep
I will hold you when you weep
My eternal love won't fail you
I'll be there
I'll be there

A while back I put up the first verse and asked for help with a second.  I got a lot of suggestions but could't make them work.  After some time a comment by a fellow poet gave me the inspiration for a second verse, which is above. I thanked her and then promptly lost her name in  my damaged brain. Now all I need is a bridge.
Dear Father
I’m alone in a very scary place
And I’m not certain how I got here.
I lost sight of the footprints I was following
And wandered off the pathway you laid out for me.

The wind is cold and the sky is dark.
I just heard screeches from the nearby woods
And this path ends in only brambles.
Kneeling on the rocky ground
I beseech the Lord to rescue me.
He either doesn’t hear my cry
Or this is where I need to be
To learn to never take my eyes
Away from the light that guides me.

Day 5 trying to post this.  Feeling lost.

jumping puddles
hopping cracks
head down
having fun
temporarily unavailable
We always grow
First tall then old.
While the mind stays
young forever.

Many don’t believe that old people feel the same as young people. Only the body changes.
