The Hound of Heaven

steps to reach the highest rung a heart so full of the undone we have been through miles but caused no pain a given chance at which to rearrange yet something deep inside beckons & draws me to come near I shed a single tear to numb the inner pain we break free and set sail onto the vast expanse of the day are we humble enough to ever bow the knee to pray the hound in heaven call us home yet like a dog without its bone we make the journey all alone suffocated inside we tend to hide shattered glass drifting from the dark memories of my past we lay hold of the feeling hoping that it would last to treasure a red rose that was plucked a time before savor each memory fondly deep in my heart there is a memory living in the land of make believe one must be willing to achieve to hold off shooting the gun in your hand hopefully someday you will understand you can't go through life thinking what might have been won't you help me my friend Lord Jesus to trust in a power greater then self never to give into the finish line without first an encounter with your silent partner hound in heaven seeks you & me leading us onward to sweet victory
