Poem
The Longing Soul The moment has arrived And the night has passed, yet the feelings remain The sunshine and the clouds dance in the sky As the wind calls to the longing soul… Here is the place of yielding Tranquility has its say in the matter Life is the mother of Hope As the earth bears witness to the longing soul… Where am I now? Where have I been? Has nothing to do with where I am going Except I grant it access to the longing soul… Together is more powerful than alone If alone is in need of substance and hope So much love exist; abounding in faith and trust I must invite it into my longing soul… The smoke has my eyes tearful The music has my dreams anxious The plant kingdom has power to change life It cannot commune with my longing soul… “Step forward”, Hope says You are not what you’ve done Cause your longing to give birth and live Yes, it’s possible for my longing soul… Chance and change are vying for a seat At the table of the heart Yet, so much peace rests at the altar The destiny is Recovery for my longing soul… I will, because, I can So my mind capitulates when considering the past Falling to the earth and surrendering to His will Finally there is rest for my longing soul! Come, come quickly For I know not how to relinquish the power Teach me oh Author of Life how to govern The desires and regrets of my longing soul… Here I will fight, here I will win Far too much weighted in the balance to quit Too far have I come to give up So God becomes the longing for my longing soul!
