*** What can I do? Pray? Sadness - immense and vast. Silence is dense and gray. The skyline is overcast with sadness. It swells and bursts and overflows the drains. Silence can’t quench my thirst, - sadness alone remains. I drink it with slow sips. My eyelids are tightly shut. Sadness – a kiss on the lips - my tongue is blistering hot. Teardrops are glistening, uncontrollable. I can’t stop. God, are You listening?! Listen, God! My hands - reaching high to somehow narrow the breach, to pull down the sky, which appears out of reach. Should I attend church climb to the steeple’s top, bridge the gap and emerge from clouds (woken up from a dream in a daze) wet and newly baptized? I’d like to study His face as He stares at my eyes. Stop her from leaving me! Goodness, deceive me not! God, are You seeing me?! See me, God! All alone. Lights dimmed. She’s no longer here. What could I tell Him now, if He didn’t hear then? What could I tell Him now, if He couldn’t discern my voice in a choral hymn then, when I sang for her? Prayers are far-fetched. My fingers - nearly detached. My arms are outstretched; His are too far to latch onto. http://home.comcast.net/~kneller/aboutme.html [This message has been edited by Master (02-14-2008 03:54 PM).] |

Hi, Master! Haven't seen you around for quite some time! You have posted a heart-wrenching piece ~ I could feel every well-expressed emotion! I do believe that He hears, sees and that He is holding your hand. With faith, all will be known ~ and shown. I clicked on the link to your website but this is what I got: Page URL Not Found!! The requested page does not exist on this server. The URL you typed or followed is either outdated or inaccurate. I don't know what the problem might be. Giving you a warm, healing, welcome-back hug, EA  |
