Disappearance

The muse has disappeared 
My eyes are heavy with tears
Writing seems to have vanished away
It has left me so I deeply fear

Stress has entered my humble home
It has left me feeling robbed and alone
Will the quiet and peace come back?
Or will my spirit just be racked...

I need the Great Spirit to guide me
Show me the way to better see
Relieve this pressure upon my being
As I fall down upon my old worn knees

I need to leave worldly problems
Worship in spirit and in truth
Oh! Holy Spirit surround me
Grant me the feeling of love's proof

Thanks for your presence
Thanks for the feeling of peace
Oh! Holy Spirit your tent has covered
The feelings now are relief....

I very well know this feeling that stress causes for us, bringing us to feel so low. It even gets into your joints and causes you to ache (I am guessing becuase I never had such aches until this year with all the stress). But we just have to soldier onm have faith, and be out best. Good writing, Sara.

The mind persona can be the great oppressor, like an unruly toy that has it own idea of plan of action, Sara. One must control one's mind in order to have peace in this old world. Agape, Moses

You had me worried in the first few verses, Sara. Surely, your muse returned when your put your worldly problems in God's hands. Love the inspiration in this poem. Have been feeling stressed and am happy to know God is always there to guide me. Beautifully written, dear. Love, Carolyn
