The rain kisses the earth

A breath of cool air

Caught between two acts
And I’m just standing there

I whisper my thoughts
And the strength to proclaim escapes me

Who comforts my mind when nostalgias face hurts to look at

What purpose do I carry
When my hands can no longer create

What place do I reserve at my table when I can’t wake from my nightmare

From under the pergola I look beyond to a cloudy sky

And to a fractured self

So tired
Ashamed
So raw

Weight builds around a frame that once brought pride

Hair covers a face that never stoped smiling

Shadows dwell in a heart that used to be so open

Abba where have I gone
Creator why doesn’t the son rise up
Father what lies have built residence within my mind

God why am I lost and searching for your name
