Here, My Heart...

Here... My heart.
Strangled,struggling,
Fumbling for words.
Like an infant...
Full of feeling,
Yet void of speech.
Screaming needy cries,
Clamoring for answers,
Demanding a reason
For this season...
Fists clenched.
Entrenched.
Wanting to run,
To be undone
In the safety of
Your love.
Your eternal arms,
Wrapping up my messiness,
Hushing up my stress,
Wooing me back
From this wilderness.
You...
To quiet my mind,
Like a flitting bird,
Shhh, Be still...
And know...
I want to know.
I do.
To come and roost,
Still and protected,
In the shadow
Of Your wing.
Still.
Unstirred by storms.
Under Your feathers,
Warm...
And secure.
Sure You are here...
Ever near.
To nestle close
To Your beating breast
And be at rest.
No longer wrestle
Against this journey
Of Your design.
I am Yours.
You are mine.
I'm allowed here...
With You.
Welcomed, even!
Longed for!
The distance
Was mine to choose.
Mine, to lose
The fellowship of Your nearness,
Intimate and right.
Mine, to lose sight
Of the Good.
To feel misunderstood.
To see... the Lie,
Agree... and die.
Misinformed
Of True Love's grace
Convinced of an image
That's not Your face...
Assenting by degrees
To the perversion
Of You...
Who changes not!
Who fails not!
Who always protects!
Always trusts!
Always perseveres!
Who kindly nears
My bleeding heart,
Not to scorn,
But gently warn
And woo
My wounded heart
To the warmth
Of fiery Love!
To unveil mysteries,
Hidden deep,
Yet never found
By those who sleep...
Awake, my soul!
Spirit, run!
Into the One,
To be one,
One Spirit with Him,
Source of Wisdom...
Hidden,
Un-earthly,
Not of this world,
But for
All bleeding hearts
Opened to
True Love's redemption.
I, for one,
Want to be
Chief among hearts
Choosing this Door!
