hope remains
05.15.08 (3:34 pm) [edit]hope remains
true freedom I sought
yet only chains found deeply,
bound by compulsions too strong
for overcoming.
willfulness the cause
unstable in it's intent,
for like vapor it just goes
leaving dryness deep
now I do not seek
I strive to simply exist
as a child in the moment
yet I still do fail
suffering I feel
yet freedom also calls me
one step at a time I take
trusting in mercy
I trust the process
though I know not where I am,
inner chaos, still in chains,
yet hope remains fresh
I am called by love
hidden in life's mystery,
so in trust I grow daily
through progress unseen
deep, secret, hiding,
does the seed rest in the dark,
the roots strive ever deeper
to grow towards light
failure and despair
part of the journey intense,
true teacher along the way,
leading to freedom
grace is the free gift
within failures hard lesson,
the shattered pieces gathered
by loves hidden hand.
