Faithful Patience

fa1aa0ff71df98bbffeca5c7194507c6

If I pray but receive no answer
I’ll endure in faithful patience
Like the dead forests of winter
Sure of the coming
Of the season of Life

In my patience
I place my trust in your hands
Persisting in silence
As you twist my soul
Cleansing the rag of its tainted water

When the hour of your answer strikes
Like the light that breaks free
From the darkest of clouds
I will give thanks
In both tears and laughter

My wings will spread wide
Carried by Love through open skies
And I will leave behind
The broken home
I lived in patiently
Before you brought me Life

Autumn Joy

Oranges and reds rustle out my window
As dawn reaches in and warms my skin
I lie in the sun, like leaves on the ground
Bathing in the light, worries wash away

Joy comes in the form of chattering geese
Carrying me from summer with their song
Breathing in the beauty of this perfect moment
Peace is flowing through the brisk autumn air

We change as the seasons do
In faith we must accept and grow
Footsteps land just outside the door
Reminding us there is so much more
