Job became silent.
Heaven was silent.
God's presence brings silence.
The Holy Spirit groans when I can no longer find words.
Within the 5 stages of grief.
Denial-Anger-Bargaining-Depression-Acceptance...
There is also:
Silence.
Grief so pervasive,
So continuous,
So deep,
How long, Lord?
Perhaps Friday and Saturday were like that.
After You died.
An end of one life, one hope, one dream
not knowing even that the next one will begin.
An end of one life, one hope, one dream
not knowing even that the next one will begin.
Silence.
From the depths of painful death and loss
I stand silently before the Throne
face-to-face with Justice
and demand Mercy.
In the silence and bitterness
of not knowing when it will end
of not knowing when it will end
To be like Him means
continuous grief and pain
but also
compassion, loyalty, faithfulness
Walking thru
the world of souls
Accepting healing means
accepting new Life
Accepting He always cares.
In the Sacred Romance
Longing is fulfilled
Lament is comforted
Beauty arises from ashes
Belovedness imparts identity
My heart and soul is comforted
By the Lover of My Soul
Who always Sees Me with Delight
He Stays with Me
In His Delight in me I focus
The eyes of my soul
The eyes of my soul
On His face
No longer estranged from the soil of my soul,
I swim in the river of light
Radiance returns
Beloved acceptance
Known in
Delight in.
