Finding the Light

Confined by mere words, I will never be able to express what I feel. The pounding of my heart is not enough to tell my soul to speak. Signs of each other, I do not know if my struggling soul fuels this tempest or if the storm in my heart creates my inward battle. Only knowing I feel, my heart pounds, my mind swirls. Only knowing my soul demands to be heard but I cannot understand. Why this anguish when life has been so good? What do I lack or what hidden desire blocks my path why cannot I understand the cries of my soul? Will no one light my path? Yet I know a light is offered. Is it near enough? Have I allowed myself to be distanced form the source that can translate for my soul? Or am I blind to the fact it is right beside me? Hidden only by my refusal to be guided? My independence is not worth this torture in my soul. Turning to the light dispels all storms. My heart pounds harder, my soul begins to sing. it is He who will bring me understanding. it is Him my soul desires. No words can express the pleas of my soul, but that does not prevent him. No foreign language or muddled mind will keep Him from being my light. Understanding what I cannot share, His arms encircle, Love is extended abe then my soul finds rest. Only in His arms my heart ceases to pound. Only by His grace do I find peace.

  1. I am deeply touched by the powerful simplicity of your words. I hope you will continue to use writing as a way to explore and share your inner feelings. I think we belong to an incredible family with many talents. Writing is one that I particularly love to see developed.
