Wait

      A view into my eyes. The warmth in cold blue
water. Carry down the challenges of words that quake
inside my head.

      To nod is just to rattle. To shake is to make froth.
Oh how closing my eyes to listen to the wind outside
seems so soothing.

      To cease the emotions that roar inside my soul.
To leave all that I had behind. Oh Jehovah help me.

      Suddenly a sharp intake energizes the spirit
and the lungs expand. The veins pulse faster. My
memories that talk to me. Remind me of all the yes
answers I craved to give and the ones I left silent.
Walking away from the hurt.

     Slowly the world spins, so it seems. Time stretches
longer during darkened hours. A breath of crispness
is so desired, so needed even Jehovah presses this
child outside. Telling me that I must just wait. Just
breathe.

     Wait for what I scream? An answer to the
question that is weighing on my mind? Oh who knows
but Jehovah.

      Jehovah will answer me. There are times I so
want to listen to the heart, still I do not. Stepping
back and allowing the words to stay kept locked
inside. The ache to ease with the Scriptures I read.

      Wait. Wait. Wait. Follow the lead.

      Sit here with me. Pray for my answers.

      Wait. Wait. Wait.

    All I can do until the question is anwered.

    So hold tight to me. Love me endlessly. Give dreams
to press hard and hope sincerely.
