'Only YOU Will Do'

When my soul feels stranded with none in sight, I turn to You Alone

When my heart feels empty with doubts in mind, I long to be with the unknown

When I fear to hear the unsettling silence, I hasten to call out to You

My Beloved of all do not abandon me,

For I know that Only You will do…

When my heart feels heavy, burdened with sins I‘m too ashamed to acknowledge Your Presence

When the days become cold, and the nights far too dark I reluctantly turn my gaze to the heavens

My Gracious Lord, You see my yearning heart And how desperately I turn to You

So my Beloved of all Please forgive my wrongs, For I know now - Only You Will do.

'It's been a While' - Poetry

It's been a while

I can't recall how long

But, the echoes of my inner thoughts

Continue to stumble on.

With a heart at peace

And a mind at rest

The echoes of my inner thoughts

Continue to race ahead.

No longer questioning

Where destiny lies

The echoes of inner thoughts

Create tears in my eyes.

Free of worries

And free of pains

The echoes of inner peace

Is now where my heart remains...
