What manner of dreams
That come in the day
To be shunted nigh
Into strange reality
I could not ask for
Nor hope for
But came it did
Quietly
With my eyes wide
I saw the longing
Become a want
Left to settle
An empty call
I could not
Have thought
Of this
In the unknowable Mind
Great plans set on me
Abandoning my own wants
To His higher urgings
I fought weakness
Wanting to run
Leave behind
The struggle
Overwhelmed by
The failings of the past
Seeing the seeds
Of failure looming
It was the Love
Kept me on my path
Laughing with me
At the folly of my wants
Crying with me
Of the felt
Emptiness
Shielded in my heart
Keeping me warm
In the coldness
Never ending
In my Life
Embraced in the Arms
That saw no less
Only the worth
That Life called
To flow freely
From the rock
Cracked open
Springing out
In a fountain
Faith in the One
Love of Him
To be given
In the Desert
Of this World
Bringing forth
An Oasis
Shelter from
That consuming
Creature
Of Fiery Doom
To see again
That Hope will
Be graced
Into my Life
