my soul finds no rest
sleep comes as the day dawns
and the world awakens
spending the hours of the night
mixing, mingling with the shadows
weaving, deceiving, erratic, silent
through corridoors
though sheltered in hollow glow
they own the night
i rise with the moon
feeling at a loss for a day lost
downtrodden for rest has not come
a lingering sensation haunts
have i
missed the midst of your mist?
each night as my faith begins to dim
though i falter you never fail
you beckon from the east
unfurling a new covenant of hope
which shines to the innermost place
over and over again
i am left without words
only to inhale in silence,
breathing in such splendor
in hope of healing and cleansing
from within
so that i may find rest
i will wait through the night for you
though doubt looms and consumes
through the night i wait
for your light
for life
i will wait through the night for you
though i waver
you are steadfast
i will wait through the night for you
to bring rest
