Winter in my Soul

This past week I had some news that reminded of a previous experience that was painful and hard.  However, I know and believe that God has a plan, and I'm walking forward in His love and grace.  But, with it snowing today and everything being gray again, I remembered a poem that I had written a while ago and I thought I would share it with y'all.

 

Winter In My Soul

 

My dreams lie shattered at my feet,

Mingled with shards of my heart.

I cry till my tears run dry

yet long for more.

It's summer outside,

yet winter in my soul.

 

Heaven is silent for me

I yearn to be free.

I long for spring

but find winter in my soul

 

the ground is frozen beneath my feet,

the sky is hard above my head.

I call your name,

yet my voice echoes back to me.

 

Heaven is silent for me

I yearn to be free.

I long for spring,

but find winter in my soul.

 

How could You let this happen?

Why did you let me go?

Why can't I find you?

Why must Heaven be silent for me?

I long for spring

but find winter in my soul.

 

My heart cries for You, O Lord

I cannot let you go.

I will pound on heaven's door

until winter is gone from my soul.

 

I love You Abba Father

You are never silent to me

I trust You for the spring

while the winter is in my soul.

 

 

    In His Love,
