Poetry
Where do the words come from?
What are these themes I hear?
What is their number, this unseen sum?
These simple longings unheard by the ear.
Deep or simple thoughts pour from my being.
I'm not alone in this blessing.
I lay them out, for my own seeing,
yet what I write gives many resting.
These many thoughts are not of my thinking.
I cannot say that I am the source.
When I am down, they keep me from sinking.
These words I write come with a force.
They visit me like an old friend,
when I'm alone, feeling so faint.
I'm made to see my mortal end,
embracing me with a loving restraint.
These words I write don't match my perception.
They often don't match the things I feel.
They propose a higher conception.
When they're embraced, Truth is revealed.
The Truth I see is a Person.
Jesus the Name He gave Himself.
Just when things could only worsen,
through my heart comes my Help.
"I give out of love what you enjoy.
Visions to see, now within sight.
Lay out these. Play them like toys.
Speak of them clearly, in My might!"

"Then the LORD answered me and said:
'Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.'" - Habakkuk 2:2-3
