I Have Asked Him To Restore My Holiness

Troubled heart, seek joy because my lost and hopeless soul has forgotten to ask and pray; who can hide from God's eyes when they roam as eagles do? Do silent skies suppress beauty by letting hope flee on breeze? Shimmering stars, don't leave this bright August sky until serenity is mine and peace dwells inside! I have sought Him on nights of desperation... shedding many tears of regret over deeds of willful wrath! Even then, He listened to each prayer and heard my sincere supplication. Why would fear conquer me, if His presence is felt everywhere? Why would solitude and emptiness overcome me and allow misery to distort the faith that flows into these veins and not let me live? I have asked Him to restore my holiness with the trembling voice of a true repentant man! Written on 1/16/2012 Second Place in Broken's Wings contest, " Any Poem Not For A Contest Ever. "
