the night has been long, the enemy strong but you’ve held your ground. Yet with every slice you weaken and now you are just saving face. Its been long since you remember what the quiet was, what your purpose was, what it was to sit beside beside still waters. your breathing is shallow because every deep breath reopens past wounds. your spiritual eyes are dim and on a good day you can hear a faint whisper but still its more like an echo of many miles away, when days were actually something to look forward to. before fresh water is what you drank with satisfaction but now bitter water seizes your mouth. You pray and nothing. You cry and still silence. you’re in a daze its easier to walk away then it is to confront. You trudge through life wondering in dissatisfaction about the dreams that have fallen ruin in our lives. You don’t care! You simply do not care!! Look though, the east is ringing with a new excitement. A faint whisper grows louder as you lie in disdain and disbelief. The trees are shouting! the oceans are thundering “The Master is returning!!” Feel the new life penetrating your heart. Life that is seeping from the inside out. Then the Life that you now see begins to fade away as light penetrates your dim eyes and despite wounds and regrets you feel young again and then in an instant you take a deep breath and as you exhale you wake up!! you wake up to the miracle behind the curses, the kisses behind the tears. the refreshing rain after sweltering heat of sorrow. you wake up to your Lover whispering. “Ive been waitng for you to follow. I have returned for you and now we will rejoice in each others presence with laughter and good comapny. You have fed yourself with sadness now drink my Joy. For its your heart that I love. Its your eyes I long to gaze in.It is your World Ive come to save!!”
