“The Cry to Praise”

A poem of hope and strength in the midst of pain

Every night I cry myself to sleep

Each tear whispering of heartbreak as I weep

I weep over what was lost and what could have been

I sigh as a cry

I moan as I try

To understand how everything went to pieces

I feel trapped in my emotions and I want to escape the despair

Those gloomy feelings I can no longer bare

I feel they will swallow me up as I work through the pain

But they pour over me like a deluge of rain

Streaming from my heart

Tearing me apart

What more can I do?

I’m exhausted, I’m through.

Yet I reach out to the one who loves me

I look to the one who tells me I’m his

I look to my God who cares for me deeply

I search for He who will get me through this

Jehovah, my God, will make a way out of no way

Jehovah, my Lord, I turn it all over to you today

My hands I will raise

In my mouth will be praise

I weep over the joy I feel within

I Blog - How I Feel Today

How I Feel Today is a collection of blogs that reflect the ups and downs of one relationship. The woman is not sure if she wants to stay or leave.

I used a picture of the ocean because I think the ocean/beach is the best place to ponder and reflect on life. It’s a Game of Opposites depicts her conundrum.

It's a Game of Opposites

I want to let him go but keep him.

I need him but I don’t.

Some days I feel good with him there, other times I wish he weren’t.

Having him around I'm secure and safe yet vulnerable and in harm’s way.

I’m close yet so far away.

Upside down and in and out he turns me. (now I understand that song)

It is but it isn’t.

I’m in a conundrum, but I’m clear of what I know.

The writing is on the wall, but the words are foreign.

When will this roller coaster ever end?

I don’t know, yet I do.

It’s a game of Opposites.
