Mist
uncertainty
shadows
light
glimmers
of reality
stepping through the fog
of daily living
relying on faith alone
to protect me from my steps
hoping for whispers of guidance
groping for a stronghold
grasping at known promises
heard too long ago
slipping
falling
landing
safely in His omnipresence
still a tiny flutter
in my heart
praying for a resting of my spirit
as I turn my eyes
my hope
my love
upon Him
pleading for mercy
for my weakness
my unbelief
my fear

a tear

is it mine?
is it His?

“Child, rest, I AM here.”

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

ahhh...the inextricably intertwined essence of that single tear...with the comforting knowledge that it (as well as He) is indeed there
