If Only

If I could only touch the skies 

I would paint the colors of my rainbow

with all the hues of hope...

If I could only pluck 

the moon and the stars 

to light up my darkest nights

with all my might I would...

If I could only tell time 

to stay...

If only God 

will change my reality...

I Dared...

I took a glance at hope...

My heart leaped in gratitude

to see some hues of greens...

Oh how comforting moment 

to see a glimpse

though deep within 

I wonder if it is within my reach...

I paused to hold my breath

braced my heart

again I dared to look at hope 

finding out

once again 

my heart ripped off

as before my eyes

hope faded away once more...

In Hopelessness

What is hope

for the hopeless?

Where is hope

in hopelessness?

Hope is the most wonderful thing

a hoping heart can ever have...

Hoping in hopelessness 

is the painfullest agony

of a hopeless heart...

In Your Will

To breathe in your will

To live your will...

To breathe in my truths 

To live in my realities...

Though through all the pain...

Though through all the tears...

If Only God Willed

If only God willed

Things could have been well 

If only God willed

I need not shed a tear

If only God willed...

Yet I will always believe 

that all that God willed

are always what's best...

Teaching Me...

When my realities 

are hurting me again

My Lord, My God

faithfully touches

my grieving heart

easing the heaviness

teaching me 

how to breathe...

I Asked God

Again today

I gazed at the skies...

My heart in throbbing pain 

in streaming tears 

sought the face of God...

Again painfully 

I asked Him...

"Oh God 

What do you see

deep in me?..."

"Oh God

Are these all

what you purposed for me?..."

In fiercely grieving heart

I asked God again today...
