Premium Member Whispered Comfort

Tender loving strokes through my hair
so reassuring
so comforting
like the voice that coos in my ear
so loving
so gentle
the whisper of a mother's comfort
so strong
so warm
gently soothing away the anxiety
her voice comforts and hides the tears
that gently roll down her cheeks
as she trys to sooth her own ache
with those of the child she cradles
and how comforting, warm and safe is that whisper
as it lifts me off to peaceful dreams
where only fitful sleep had dwelled
so dark
so painful
but like the whisper of a familiar voice
so loved
so tender
it has the power to calm all fears.

My Voice

My voice is my song
Raised with my hopes
Learn to tolerate anger

My voice is my song
Fold  in tides of madness
The only fold bears innocent lives

My voice is my song
Fond fairness against deceiver
Surge toward one piece make us all  secure

** Continuation of project one piece

Crumbling Beneath

A dream came to me 
Every thing beneath my feet was crumbling away
I ran to high ground and yet it too crumbled

Watching all disappear into nothingness, I heard a voice
The voice called out to me to look up.
But in my self-centeredness
I continued watching all crumble away and cried out 
Again the voice called, ‘Look up!’

I saw the Lord with His hand outstretched
I reached for it, then in a moment of hesitation glanced down
Massive destruction came rushing toward me, taking the very peak I stood on.

Again, the voice calls, ‘Look up ... look to ME!’
With Him, I have a firm foundation in which to stand.  
But when I take my eyes off Him, 
Everything crumbles beneath me.  
Nothing but a void is there.

With His hand in mine I am safe
I listen to His voice, paying no mind to any other
In His care, with His guidance is where I want to be.

My heart is His, my eyes, I want fixed on Him
No matter what may come of this world
And its self-destructive behavior
My hand is in His hand
I am looking up!
