Poetry: Stepping Out on the Water

Haunting Fear Creeps at the door Seeps through every crevice Deep down dark below. Weighing down Like a blanket of darkness Covering every glimmer Blocking light and glow. Why must you persist? Why must you keep knocking? Darkness, be gone! I’m done with your haunting. Circumstances keep coming Your Love never fails Faith in Hell?Continue reading “Poetry: Stepping Out on the Water”

Fear and Courage

Poetry – Relapse into Panic

Knives They dive deep into my gut Rolling around like sickness Devastating blow to my body I fall to the ground Can’t get up Floods of tingling waves Too deep to Explain Stabbing, fear, hurt, sickness They are all I feel Those I trust They hurt so much Adonai, What escape do I have fromContinue reading “Poetry – Relapse into Panic”

Poetry – To Dwell ‘O Lord

When will my eyes see? When will my ears hear? When will I stop to breathe? When will I rise without fear? All around me speaks of Your glory; All around me I see and hear. This heart must stop wandering; This heart must find its peace my dear. Will I stop on the hillsideContinue reading “Poetry – To Dwell ‘O Lord”
