Your Essence

I wrote this for an upcoming book titled Affiance

Your Essence
By April Thomas

Like a still voice whispering inaudible words in a mysterious wind. Through the crashing waves of life's circumstance,your essence silently draws me in.

Why do I stand here roaming earths hostile atmosphere,praying for the moment that I will find you there.

Each time that I say my heart cannot take anymore, it's your silent call I can't seem to ignore.

Violently I'm washed up against the ocean shore,without hesitation my heart seeks more.

More of your love, more of your presence. Just another chance to become lost in your essence.

Lost to me by evil fate, this last gamble I will take. Throwing all I own to an uncertain path, I choose to stand against her wicked wrath.

Falling to my knees succumbing to the pain, I cry out to The One Who Created us flesh, soul, and all. He strengthens my heart once more to take this final step.

Like a still voice whispering inaudible words...I stretch through the darkness risking it all.
