silence

question
answers
truth
lies
truth
fragment
yes and no's
wrong way
this way
oh how the snake twists around me
innocence and wisdom collide
the battle rages on
serpent and dove
forgiveness i seek
for complicating simplicity
work and work
longing to relax
relaxing and getting behind on work
there is a time for work and a time to relax
voices beckoning to relax come to me at every direction
but the season is not here
and it may not come for a while
silence the voices that pull at you from every direction
part of you wants to not deal with any of this
thinking about it means you are worrying
no dear friend. that is a lie.
determination
endurance
this is what you must have
do not let those for whom you care distract you any longer
you are where you need to be
now grow
it is possible to be by the still waters as the winds of storms begin to blow
obey.
obey more.
do not let your desires conflict with God's amazing plan
self discipline many have not. will you become like them?
they think themselves in the right and yet they are still there.
you will be leaving soon and if you carry with you these bad habits they will become a burden
stretch your wings
become fit for flight
for in a moment your time there will be over and the new journey will begin
yes
yes and more yes!
keep going! look the crowd you thought against you now cheers you on
they never stopped cheering
you became disillusioned with the lies
but now you see
and though your heart aches for a different story you mustn't give up just because it isn't picture perfect for everyone
train
every way
every day
into the silence
then take flight
way up there you will proclaim the Truth and by the Truth many will be saved.

:(

ah!
the sun arises
a fresh day
a new start
surely today i will not stumble
my gaze is fixed on the Lord
here i go out into the world

a cold wind greats me
it is no matter
for the Lord is an ever constant fire burning inside me

alas! what is that in the distant?
someone calling for help
but it didnt sound like help
yet the call was indeed missed
and so early on what should be a glorious morning
i have brought the storms
how long will i be so quick to disobey?

and thus a burden lays upon my shoulders
what have i done
i asked to see those ready to live
and what do i do but become a little girl

the night grows closer and the entire day begins to look brighter
but not for this fool
once more must i fail
for who would ever--
so easily angered they became
but i didnt speak for harm
and yet harm came
and in the darkness we all remain
