FINDING STRENGTH IN THAT WHICH WE FEAR

It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together I will be free. In your arms is where ill find my peace. Tethered to a past of misery and mistakes and with this little faith I hold in my heart a brighter future i shall seek. Its a shot in the dark but I will make it. Give it time I keep saying to myself your not alone god is in control. Keep going run if I must but one day you will make it. A greater you bathing in his glorified waters. Cleans my mind with his whispers of peace. Know when I am alone I am not lonely. If I need to cry just cry he who I hold high will wipe my eyes. Shaking my head so confused believing in something that I can not physically reach for.

My conversation with my god.

I asked him where are your arms when my skin craves a sweet embrace?
He tells me just because I can not feel him holding me doesn't mean that when I am alone I truly am alone.

Where are your words to silence the misery in my mind?
He responds: that which you hear is your confused words I speak clearly but you choose to listen to that which is not the word of me the word of god.

Where is your shoulder when I have fallen and need something to lean on.
In my shock he told me that when I have fallen have I ever truly been alone? Those that have lent you a helping hand an ear to listen to your troubles all those who have stood by you and helped you that was because they was sent by me they are me for I live through them.

I stomped my foot and screamed: why am I able to see all that I can see why am I plagued with visions of the cruelty in this world. To see what I see should be a sin.
As he sighed a long sigh he responds: My child cruelty and darkness can only surround those who create it. Bad things will happen to you my son but I will be there and if you let me help you I will show you beauty that you never thought could exist.

I clench my chest tears streaming down my face: Take me home father I am not strong enough for this world and what it has become. To much i have lost family, friends, lovers, etc.
As his hands slammed down his voice echoes into my ears through my veins into my heart and says: you are not ready child and I do not take those who are not ready! I created you for a higher purpose you have much work to do and I am truly proud of you for how far you have come but know this when your time comes my kingdom will be your home and I will be there with you to walk through the doors.

As he says he must go for now I look at him and grab his hand and tell him: Father i am scared.
Then he cradles me and says my child it takes a courageous person to be scared but a truly strong person to over come there fears! When you are frighten call upon me and I shall send you help. When you cry I will listen and send someone to wipe away your tears when you are lonely and need a friend speak to me for I am your father your mother I am your friend..........
