Being Still
Being Still
To be still here with you is the best place to be
Listening to my heart
Inside you I take a peak
From whence comes this emotion of kindness I see
A touch of a rose petal
Or a dainty daisy
Kindness is creeping back in
I sense its warm caress
I just walked out of a day of complete aloneness
How could all the joy be robbed all at once from my soul
A boa constrictor came into the night and tried to swalllow me whole
He promised me today that he would show me who my true friends were
He promised me this day to be still and know that He is near
Listening to my heart and unglueing from its hinges
Every past mistake as my life sits on the edge
Come back now
Please don’t leave me
I am sitting alone here with packed suitcases
Not knowing what I will come home to
Hearing in the stillness of the moment that I will turn around
And return back unto you
It is a new day and with a new day comes a rainbow
This third day of my fast I am expecting a miracle
Place all the shattered pieces of my heart back together now
Replace the dreams that the enemy tried to steal away now
Love is creeping in again
Slowly but surely
Taking away the darkness that I was suffocated with earlier
I thank you for this experience for it showed me something great
That you in the center of my heart is where I want you to be
