whisper

at first i held the pain in a cage
who would understand?

the world tumbles around me
the human spirit fails
as a once-strong bond of love frays to
nothing
as the circle of trust is broken
as distractions take me off the narrow path
obstacles stand between me and Him
courage fails
where can i turn to?

and i cried out to You
where are You
why do you plunge me through this grief
relentlessly
i know You are there
but i can't feel it

You are the Almighty
save me from this!
this cup is too bitter

but then
a whisper
gentle

I'm here
I know you're calling
haven't I said I'd be there?
stop placing Me out of reach
I want to draw you near
and place you close to my heart
yes I am Lord and Creator

but I am also your Friend.

and I love you.
give me your pain
and i will give you peace.
