Praying for perfect silence, My heart to skip a beat, For somewhere deep inside me To feel a sweet release. I’m tired of holding tightly To pain that won’t let go, So tired of blackness being The color I most know. If I could just find a way To set my spirit free And dance in true abandonment, Would I feel relief? Or would I still be burdened By worries that I have, Anxieties within me, Panic my heart jumps at? Is there a way to turn the tide Or do I just admit The battle is relentless, A war that has no end? Somewhere out there is beauty, A gentleness to feel, A love more than I’ve come across, And strength for me to heal. But as I search deep and wide Looking for the Source, I find the Truth facing me From a place so close. A Guiding Light to help me Find my Way to peace, A tender hand to steady me, Someone Who always sees, My God, He reaches out to me With love I can’t deny. He promises to be with me Always by my side. So I go on, not knowing If I’ll learn how to breathe, But trusting my Instructor Whom I meet on my knees.

The Meeting
Praying for perfect silence, My heart to skip a beat, For somewhere deep inside me To feel a sweet release. I’m tired of holding tightly To pain that won’t let go, So tired of blackness being The color I most know. If I could just find a way To set my spirit free And dance in true abandonment, Would I feel relief? Or would I still be burdened By worries that I have, Anxieties within me, Panic my heart jumps at? Is there a way to turn the tide Or do I just admit The battle is relentless, A war that has no end? Somewhere out there is beauty, A gentleness to feel, A love more than I’ve come across, And strength for me to heal. But as I search deep and wide Looking for the Source, I find the Truth facing me From a place so close. A Guiding Light to help me Find my Way to peace, A tender hand to steady me, Someone Who always sees, My God, He reaches out to me With love I can’t deny. He promises to be with me Always by my side. So I go on, not knowing If I’ll learn how to breathe, But trusting my Instructor Whom I meet on my knees.
I really don't know if I'll ever get better, but I do know that God is with me through the darkness and somehow, that has to be enough.
