Guide

The pit of my stomach
Suddenly, the bottom’s dropped out.
And that sinking feeling
Continues forever.

In the darkness of that void
I still hear your voice
Your sighs, feel your breath
Your fingers trailing…

A flash of light so bright
Before my eyes the blossoming of your smile.
And then as the darkness returns
The yearning mixed with guilt
The pain of not knowing.

From my heart to my lips
A wish is born;
For an end to all of this.
This pain, this blood, these tears;
Our suffering.

Where the bottom used to be
Another universe opens up to me.
Possibilities of pain and pleasure,
Of hope and despair.
And a hand reached out to me;

Grab it, hold on tight;
I’ll let it guide me through this night.
I will listen to my heart;
To Your whispers in my soul.
Wisdom eternal, Father; be my guide.
