For the One Who Stands

Life fading before your very eyes 
So many false promises and far too many lies
Laying beside He who stands 
Questioning answers and making demands. 

Your meandering soul so very dark 
The light slightly seen by that single spark 
Crouched below the turbulent tide 
With He who stands by your side. 

Moonbeams and those blessed dreams 
And the places only you have seen 
Crawling at the feet of He who stands 
Roses,their thorns and blood on your hands. 

The majestic meaning of your thoughts 
Your demon challenged and iron wrought 
Placed as if a speck of discarded sand 
All of this for the one who stands.

Lisa, Thank you for this. Today has been a day I felt like asking Him to make my last. Sometimes my pain seems to be more than I can bear. Reading your word rang thru my mind like the pure peal of a bell and brought me more comfort than you can ever guess. Bless you dear lady. This one goes to my Favs. Love, Will
