Help.
Poppa, I cannot breathe.
I keep trying to be brave.
Even when all of the odds are against me.
I need your help.
Desperately,
My heart is heavy.
Please Poppa.
I’m tired, my skin hurts from all of the wounds.
Help.
Help, Breathe, I …

Fire in the hole
That loud sound,
It vibrates throughout your body,
Shaking uncontrollably,
Is He here?
The plateau of tomorrow,
Daisies and butterflies,
If only, to smile,
To climb,
To strip the talons off,
Because I’m getting out of this hell,
One breath, Each step with Him,
Damn it. Keep going. Don’t stop.
I can’t breathe…
There’s fire in the hole.
Whirlwind to Peace
The whirlwind,
Can you feel it?
The beating of your anxious heart,
Your chest tightening,
That feeling that creeps up from your belly to the top of your esophagus…
I can’t breathe.
My ears are warm and my eyes are wide open…
Hurry close them!
I spend so much time stuck in my head,
I’m reaching and asking Him to meet me here,
Hand in Hand,
Here I am Poppa,
Is it okay to cling to you in the darkness,
When the scary stuff creeps in?
My eyes are closed,
Am I safe?
You are here,
Let’s ride the waves together,
Struggling to find that gentle, calm space,
You are leading the way.
Walking side by side is where I want to be,
You are delighted in me,
You see more than I see,
The journey ahead is…
A hop, skip and a jump.
To play, to grow, to live and to love.
New adventures are coming,
Though I am scared,
I seek you.
On shaky ground,
I seek you.
Help me please,
To find peace in your presence.
Sometimes
The chiming of the bell,
The alarm that wakes you to the core,
Tick, Tock goes the clock,
Am I too late?
To snip and suture the wound?
I need the Almighty Surgeon and Healer.
To put the pieces back together…..
To help me to be whole.
Sometimes I cry,
Sometimes I pray,
Sometimes I reach my hands to the sky,
And sometimes I feel afraid.
To feel, is okay.
But to remain in the depths of despair,
That mindset needs a reset,
Hold on tight, deep breath, bosom to the floor with hands clasped gently together.
He will meet you there.
He is always with you, always.
That hope that resonates to the core,
I keep repeating… He is Here…
He knows that I’m drowning…
He holds the vine…
Reach out, it is within sight,
Jump and take flight.
He’s got you,
He knows your brokenness,
He knows your desires to be made whole.
Numb
He is there.
Maybe that is where I’m supposed to be?
I need to be held,
Because I’m falling apart.
Deep breath.
Listen.
He loves you and I.
To be whole.
Desolation
What is love?
Unconditional love?
Jesus, I reach to you
I feel alone,
I feel angry,
I feel deeply hurt.
Those places where the crows fly,
The dust swirls,
The sun blocked by the polluted atmosphere,
I am thirsty, I am hungry, I struggle to breathe,
My hope is in you,
Please help me to get this pain out,
To release it all to you,
To trust you.
Dear Poppa, I need you close.
