Writing to you again (2010)
Here I am, writing to you again
trying to make sense of things in vain—
of you, of life, this place I roam,
of hope, and all the gifts I’ve known
God has shown Himself through loss and pain
and in the help no one has ever seen
not because it wasn’t there,
but because our hearts
are far too hard now even to beat
And forgive me if I cannot see you—
I’m simply not able to
forgive me if I’m restless still,
but I want to seek you in the dusk
when the sun has left me,
and your music plays
and maybe, by candlelight, I’ll see
the wound begin to heal
and a friend to comfort me
At times I hear the wise ones speak
with honest hearts, with voices meek
they search for purpose in all we know,
a hope to shelter the unknown
So help me now and don’t let go
you know I’m here for you, if ever you need so
just don’t leave me on my own anymore
just don’t leave me—
not ever anymore
