In the Chasm of My Mind

In the chasm of my mind 
Where many tears have crystallised;
becoming stalagmites and stalactites - 
To have had, and to have held; 
To have lived, and to have died 
To all life’s happenings, good and ill,
For restitution and solace now seek their place,
Many eyed beasts crave the crumbs of the waste -
wasted years, and scorn  fed tears , they lay in the hidden caves of the recesses of my  mind…

I will look up to the hills 
And feed upon the sunrise,
My need is saturated in Your love;
I am bathed in Your light 
And swaddled in Your cloak of righteousness 
As Surely as goodness and mercy are at my side, I seek no comfort here,
for I am sustained by the fount of all blessings
And by the Eventide when I find myself at The Great River, 
I will be ready to cross.
