That You are near
      Engulfed within a tempest of loss
      grief soaked sadness weighted my every step;
      standstill was inevitable.
      Perseverance construed the construction
      of a tear-proof existence
      of the utmost importance.

      Each years’ passing only added
      further heaviness to the day’s dragging
      and my heart could no longer recall
      the motivation for its continued beating.

      So self encircled was I that
      all that really matters was nearly out of reach.

      But today Lord the bubble burst;
      the tears were welcomed once again.
      My heart is revived, beating with gratitude
      that You are near.

In the gap

      Cold, numb and not knowing.
      Why am I here in the gap
      between the living and the dead?
      The line is surely impassible
      but between the two there is a space
      and it is there that I am standing.

      Over the break in my heart
      the gap is imprinted
      each side holds loved ones dear
      and if not for one
      to the other I would go.

      But then words, the words scattered
      here and there come together and I hear-
      Run, run to the gap. And I think...
      but I am already here, what is it that I am
      supposed to be doing?

      As if my query were audible
      I was given the answer, loud and clear.
      Grab a coal from the alter of the Lord.
      With it, awake your censor,
      lift it, lift it high, and add your voice
      to the praying voices that are crying
      Lord stay the plague
      of the dying.

A moment of clarity

      The cars weave in and out,
      too close for comfort, but for commuters
      comfort is sacrificed for speed
      and it was here in the midst of confusion
      somewhere between where I was headed
      and where I am now
      that the Lord picked to explain...

      I am in this place because the faithful
      are being called to stand in the gap for the lost.
      One by one God is reaching out to us with
      our own moment of clarity and I
      would not have been here in this place
      had not a part of me already crossed over.

      It suddenly became crystal clear
      that it was God who brought me here
      and now He has set me on fire
      to help light the Way.

Let me righteous be

      Lord fan the fire within;
      as long Your Holy Spirit remains
      never let it grow cold or die.

      Let Your thoughts take over my own;
      teach me to glean from Your Word;
      let me be worthy to help plant the harvest.

      And when its my turn to join the battle
      put a sword in my hand, and let me
      righteous be.

A short space of Grace

      Lord I am Yours
      purchased with Your love and sacrifice.
      It was nothing I did, salvation
      was given me.
      I thought that loving You with all my heart
      was all that was required
      I've come to see that this short span of years
      accounted to each of us
      is but a mist in passing.
      For Your glory
      each of us
      has been created for a purpose.

      Within this space of Grace,
      time is wasting and I dare not squander
      another minute

      I need a dream to fuel the fire
      You have awakened within.
      I need a dream that will keep You in focus.
      Give me a dream Lord
      and make that dream
      my purpose.

The battle

      There is a battle coming and
      on the hill there is a promised victory.
      My soul grows grave with
      the sound of distant drumming
      and clash of angels swords.

      Lord, with all my heart I am ascending
      but if the very top is not a possibility
      then to my knees let me fall and
      let my life be pleasing to You
      however high I get.

      There is a battle coming and
      on the hill there is a promised victory.
      Oh yes the warriors are being readied!
      Run, run with me to the top.
      Come, come, bring as many with you
      as you can.

      Oh yes the battle is coming!
      Oh Yes, there is a God
      and He will not be defeated!

The short and long of this, m’dear friend,
is that you are never really expected to “let go”,
but to believe, have faith, and know.

Know, with faith, that you can believe.

‘Tis true, y’know. We’ll talk. We’ve both many things to share.

And know that I know…and because of who you are,
and because of what you know, this is what brought us
together.

As always, I send you all of my

Luminous One, your Light shines through this powerful, prayerful ~ and highly poetic ~ plea for those in need of revival.

"I've come to see that this short span of years
      accounted to each of us
      is but a mist in passing.
      For Your glory
      each of us
      has been created for a purpose."

I do believe that your divine poetry serves as one of your purposes, Dear One.

Blessings of love and joy,

EA
