Walking With My Beloved By a Moonlit Shore
There is a full moon hanging in the sky tonight casting its soulful image upon the ocean whose beach I walk alone.
No husband, love or friend to walk by my side, for this journey. No children running behind to catch up to me. There was a time I had both, but now I walk alone. Others pass by me laughing together or holding hands leaving me feeling so alone and small. As I look out into the far reaches of the ocean one speck, one lonely solitary soul I realize how insignificant and unwanted I am.
Uncertain of my future and the road ahead my heart grows heavy as warm teardrops to fall down my cheeks as they so often do. A loud crashing wave pulls me from my sorrowful place drawing my gaze toward the limitless ocean as if to remind me I’m just one of many wounded a drift in search healing that will release me from depression and despair. Suddenly I feel a soft breeze on my face knowing you sent a soft breeze to gently dry away my tears. I needed to know you would come in my moment of weakness and you have as you always.
You’ve come to embrace me when I need you most in tenderness you are my comfort and balm that heals. I give to you my tears of sorrow for you alone know my heart and what lies within me. You alone, my beloved can heal my wounds, my body and provide complete love that fulfills my every need.
To others who may pass by I’m walking alone, but they do not see that you have come to walk with me. When I grow weary and unable to go another step you pick me up and carry me. Sheltered in a cocoon filled with your love I can walk boldly unafraid toward my future knowing I will never be separated from you or your love. It is You, my Beloved that sustains me and because of You my cup will runneth over once again
I continue to walk toward the sand drifts to feel the soft grains of sand between my toes and even this reminds me of your presence. Your Word soothes me with Your promise…..
“How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake I am still with thee.”
(Psalm 139:17-18)
Awakened from my sorrow,
I know it is your embrace I need, and it is in Your touch I shall find my healing, O Lord.
The one, who hung that moon in the sky and created the ocean that surrounds me, is watching over me, loving me and He walks beside me both day and night.
