The silence of reality

Was deafening to my ears

The whispers of the future

Magnified by imminent fears 

With Death, I lie in comfort

In a firm and warm embrace

Finding solace that; in her world,

I had nothing left to face.

I waded in her ocean

searching for her deep abyss;

To drown me in my sorrows

For, each one had come to this...

Till out of nowhere, came 

A giant hand

That rescued me from me;

And a voice, the sound of thunder

said, "I've more for you to see."

"You've allowed your trials to burden you,

But each one was a test;

Seek, and ye shall find 

The gift of strength

And in Me,

Ye shall rest."

So, I handed Him my troubles,

He reduced them all to dust,

Then, instantly, I felt renewed

In Him, I placed my trust.

My new dwelling is His shoulder,

I rest there when I am weak;

And whenever life grows colder,

It is Him,

not Death

I seek.
