My Plead
Karen Torbiak
2000

Naked arms outstretched
towards the heavens
reaching skyward to HIM
who directs my life.

A cleansing of spirit
comes by reaching out
to the Creator of us all.

I stood before the heavens
as the winds flowed
around my body
in a gentle but powerful caress.

The skies parted revealing
an archway of stars
amid the cloudy
darkness of night.

My eyes are drawn
towards their bright twinkle,
listening as if their very presence
would speak to me
of the wonder of their Maker.

Wind, strong,
passionate and cleansing
rushes over my body
peeking the nipples of my breast
and sending shivers
of love over my body.

I lift my hands to thee
naked of heart and soul
that thou wilt accept from me
the burdens weighing my soul.

I beg thee to fill me,
my LORD,
with your strength
that I may continue forward
giving over my weaknesses
that I may become strong.

I beg thee to fill me
with the strength of thy wind
moving ever onward
cleansing and healing
as I journey in this life.

Guide my footsteps
on thy path
and though
I stumble and fall
fill me with thy strength
to arise again to continue
on the path set before me.

I give myself into thy hands
as a willing servant
to do thy will
in all things as I can.

Please hear my plead,
nevertheless,
Thy Will be Done


Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com
