While the past still overshadows my dreams At times, I see the forest in spite of trees Huge oaks – leaves of doubt fading from their limbs Silent pines, wistful stories falling in cones of shame Whirlybirds from maples, feeling lost amid the chaotic world so grim While the past may feel like a cloak of sorrow Dimming the light of joy and peace, such grief In distant eyes, pain breaking through the branches of hope Starlight weakening, prevented from glistening with still life As the melancholic, the lonely, invite the tones of distrust so overpowering While the past plays its song, warring with serenity A gentle tear caresses a cheek, breathing intimacy Forgiving what the world can’t see, the fears so sensitive Pouring out their blank stares, revealing the tear stained breath Colors of gray, destined – fate revealing the ways of disgrace and despair While the past remembers only the sad, the wrong, the dark My heart seeks the only One who can forgive that old song, The one that proved to me that I had a need, and I believed So He set me free from me – the old is gone and I can say I belong To the Son of God and I’ll keep moving on, pouring out my heart, my soul… Forever, He is light – He is love – He is hope He is the One who taught me what it means to see The forest despite those trees – that reveal the worst I’ve been Reminding me, once again, He saved me so I have a friend in Him, The One who taught my heart to seek and the One who gave me such sweet peace!
