LONELINESS TO LOVE
In a void of loneliness there is seen before me a way of unfailing love
A love without selfishness
without pride
without flaw
A love that could never leave you all alone
A love that lifts up always
never condemns
never forgets you
If only to reach out and have a little
does selfishness walk in this way
And when you get it will you boast of it
Sometimes it seems easier to turn away for fear of marring it
And if you do go, who will come with you
The closer you get to this love the farther it seems you get from others
How do you help others see
Why can't they hear
I reach out my hand and say come with me and my heart breaks
To win over a heart without words
words seem to break the spirit
Sometimes the more you say the less is heard
So the only way to bring them with you is to go and be still
living in the life that sheds love
The life that everyone is afraid of but in the quiet depths of tenderness
no one can resist.....
