Missing

Missing you…

because you are not here.

Missing you…

because you ‘are’ here but not close enough.

 

Not close enough to my heart.

Not close enough to look into my eyes

and ‘really’ see ME.

To KNOW me…who I AM.

 

Missing what I have been striving for

but never really had.

Still waiting for something, anything

to feel ‘right’.

 

Wanting… needing ’something’

never knowing ‘what’.

Well, perhaps knowing but never

‘really’ knowing ‘what’.

 

Missing someone who was

never ‘really’ there.

Always ‘there’ but somehow just out of reach.

Beyond the grasp of my outstretched arms.

 

Missing you.

Not because you’re not here

but because you are ‘here’.

But ‘really’….NOT.

Faith

 

To open up your heart, and see what’s deep inside;

to stand and face the truth, instead of running off to hide.

 

Every time we do this, each time we take a stand;

we learn to overcome any ‘fear’ that is at hand.

 

The fear that rules our thoughts, our actions and our mind;

can easily be cast aside with the courage we will find.

 

If only we just stop to look at what we truly know;

our spirits crying out to us, and calling us to grow.

 

But often we don’t hear it, or sometimes don’t pay heed;

and a soul that is neglected is a sorry soul indeed.

 

We have but just to listen and let OUR feelings flow;

and soon it will be clear to us and everyone we know;

 

That we have really taken steps to follow our true calling;

and the Faith we find in our OWN heart will keep our self from falling.
