there are tears that want to cry
they lie there
right behind my eyes
and rest atop my heart
seeking some avenue of release.

unknown agony
scratches my heart
from the inside
at the bottom
and on the back.

when my mind
seeks answers,
an inkling begins,
then is abruptly erased.

is it my heart
halting its searching?
is it my mind,
in agony lurching,

afraid to learn
what answers lie
somewhere, there,
within the scratching,
the waiting weeping
that does not come?

how do I change
this intermittent gnawing
that seeks to devour
my confidence
my faith
my trust?

He’s given me the answer
over and over
why can’t I heed
His loving word?
why do I
feel just as unable
to pray
as I am to understand
that for which I need to pray?

ah, yes,
“Romans 11:26--
...the Spirit helps us
in our weakness,
with groans that words
cannot express.”

Oh yes, Lord,
help me rest, Lord,
and not regress, Lord,
in Your awesome
promise,
Your awesome Love.

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

VAS....I try too....and sometimes I don't
succeed as well as I wish to...and I too
have that gnawing... Faith, a word with
so much power and so simple a meaning..

Thanx V. for giving us this part of you..
