Fear of the Known

Have you ever anticipated your own execution?
Knowing what to do to escape it yet too weak to implement it
Have you ever lived in fear of your own death?
And a constant reminder that drops in to keep you on your toes

The feeling is aggravating, the cries of desperation
How can I escape this, why can’t I escape it?
The ditch will ditch me soon enough before I pitch my escape
The poacher toils to eliminate me before I run to my safety pouch
What will I do? What can I do?

The answer lies within
In a place I’ve been too busy to visit
A place that holds peace but I myself I’m in shatters and pieces

The consolation lies with Him
With a person I’ve been too guilty to approach
A person who holds my life but I hold back from giving Him all

Have you ever wondered what it would be like?
If, just for a moment, you would let go of all your worries
Close your eyes and focus on the things that matter
Perhaps, lay on your knees and lift your hands to heaven
Hoping for a touch of love, a kiss of peace
Longing for drop of his oil, the emblem of ecstasy

Have you? Can you?

Have you thought about moments like this?
Your hand in His and His heart for you
Our constellation in Him, beaming with grace and glory

O, how I wish for brighter days
The impending doom all gone
And my will no longer torn
Sweetness in His arms
And everything away from harm
Every night and all of my days

I am coming soon
I just hope it won’t be too late!!!

I Think I Found the Words

So lost, yet now found
Schemed for my death, no longer bound
I was living a lie, too long believed
But now, I think I found the words

I found myself in His word
Captured by every page, every word
It was there all along, long forgotten
Right now, I think I found the words

I chose to watch from afar
And the lovely lives, my mouth ajar
I observed and admired their heart
Yet now, I think I found the words

I cried myself to sleep
Held my dying heart on my fingertips
Wallowing in pain, shame and grief
Standing now, I think I found the words

I can say it out loud
I will scream it to the whole wide world
Let the shout invade the air
Because now, I have found the words

On every page, written in my heart
I’m entangled in the strings to his heart
He captured my soul, body, skin and bone
Yea, now I have found the words

I Hope I Find the Words

This titled piece holds a stolen theme
I stumbled on this particular sentence that got me thinking
What would I say, if I ever came face to face with people I have wronged in the past?
Would I heal their wounds or further increase their hurt?

And now as I stand before you, will I find the words to apologize and mend my ways
Or will I say something that will push me far into the dark abyss away from you

I hope I find the words to heal those whose hearts I have hurt
I hope I find the words to fix what I have broken
I hope I find the words to express my gratitude to the deserving and not
I hope I find the words to uplift those I degraded
And embrace those that I neglected

I hope I find the words;
To express my love to those I call beloved
To flatter the one, I belong to
And to bring peace to the chaos I have erupted
Inside and out

I hope I find the words; 
To redeem myself of every wrong
To seek Him that I desire
To repent for my stupidity
And close the extending gap between us

I hope I find the words!
