untitled [-in gratitude-]

He comes to me in silence..

night falls..
solitude gets real...
very up close and personal..

bed calls,
empty whispers become hollow,
..i fade into dreamery�"solitary bliss..

give me a break from heartache and pain,
show me the way to a lovers retreat;
the love within my self; i feel it runs from me just when i think its so near..

i won't grovel...[He would'nt have it so],
i won't fall short of my glory,
i vow to cease verbalizing "never"...

�"one more to go�"I never know just what God has in store,
so i will wait on Him...
...i pray for patience...

my heart falls silent, as i listen for His whisper,
.......
i feel Him smile within me,

"My child, my child...don't be afraid...
I have always held you in my arms;what makes you think I will falter,
I AM KING, my little king..

Continue to walk upright,
don't hold your head down,
I sent those tears for a reason;

you have to clear room for healing..
There are some very happy days ahead,
now, Go forth and prosper...

All these gifts placed before you..
use them...
show the world..what We can do."

and then.....
i can breathe,deeply, feeling the chest rise and fall,
i can close my eyes...

and not one tear falls...
because i've done nothing wrong..
i've given love, faithfully...

...and some things are unexplainable, and I will remain...
but i am Mighty with my God by my side..
and He won't give up on me...

so i dare not give up on HIM.....
