Thy Will Be Done

I have wept until I could no more

I have thought and thought

Though it breaks my heart

I feel within me what must be done

Though I would rather die a thousand deaths

Than do it

I have wept and murmured prayers

Through teeth clenched in agony

Thy will be done...

Thy will be done...

On Earth as it is in Heaven... 

Only to weep again, distressed

I have offered up my heart and soul

And allowed myself to dream and hope

But that can no longer be

Let us not deceive ourselves

Let me weep, aye, let me weep

In time, this boundless pain

Must pass and be replaced

With unblemished serenity

Allow me one last look

Before I must turn away

From my heart's deepest desire

And let us speak of it no more

Wow. Speechless.


But I can't NOT say anything--this is a review, not a comment. Um. Okay, I've got it. This is such an emotionally raw piece, in which I interpret it to mean that you are wrestling with your own desires and obedience to God. You are letting something go, even though it is painfully difficult and you don't want to, because you are trusting for something infinitely better. It's the letting go that is always the hardest part.

:) I am glad it has caused this speechlessness for You...I myself adore that feeling :) You've got it right, eversosweetly :) Even though I'm not really waiting for something better...it's more of a realization that what is meant to be, will be even though it's painful to accept at this point..I should accept it gladly because I'll find peace quicker that way..that maybe I have to let go of this wonderful thing/person because I have to learn something through it :) But that was very perceptive of You :D

Very written piece, exposing your soul to the world, using such powerful words. It's great!

What a powerful, moving word.. connected to the divine words, and brought down to the most personal, painful utterance.. Letting go of your dream.. releasing it.. Your words move with wonder at what must be done..

. hmmm ... i'm a little confused about this ... because i think sometimes that these decisions are not ours to make ... we simply get to know of those decisions from the way we feel ... and we can never predict or control the way we feel ... we just have to find ways to cope with our feelings better ... of channelizing our feelings towards a personal good or a greater common good ... a cause is not a lost cause if we still feel for it ... just my thoughts ... gosh ... you write so powerfully ... all of us end up thinking ... brilliant you are ... :) ...

this was beautiful, the flow in it was splendid, the theme was great. It underlines one flaw in human life, we wish to see things, we wish to desire things that we cannot grasp, and yet we dream of them, and we weep. I love this. Good job!
