In that stillness of a moment
Everything fell silent
Except for the chirping bird on some tree
And the beating of my heart.
I sat alone, just me
With my emotions fully alert,
To converse with a friend I held closer than a brother. sister…mother.
I really needed you this day,
More than I ever have coz you see… This walk has proved to be more difficult than it ever has!
My external and internal vitals seem to shut down one by one
The world seems to grow dimmer and meaner
My intellects appear insignificant,
My daily tasks mere chores: meaningless…worthless..Pointless.
Am like an empty up-turned vessel in the middle of the desert.
I have decided to take this minute,
Just to let you know how much I need you right now
To hear a reassuring word
To have a chat like the good old times
…….hey,are you listening?
A cold wind sweeps across my shoulder,
And I realize that am all alone today.
Where are you?
Its been a long time..I keep coming by, hoping you would spare me just a minute.
The last time we talked, you promised to never leave nor forsake me…
Yet for the past few weeks you seem to have taken a vacation without me.
I couldn’t look for you with teary eyes
I couldn’t walk any further for my strength failed me
I couldn’t raise my voice to call out for you, for my spirit was crushed..
So I asked my friends to stand on my behalf and let you know that I need you.
The winter of my heart.
You have hidden your face from me,
Though I still feel you strongly in my spirit.
If this is the test of faith,
Lord I will hold on.
And daily I will come to this bench,
Where once, when the sun used to shine
And flowers bloomed at our feet,
You sat for hours on end with me,
Shared a joke, a moment, a story. But now that you seem so far away,
I will trust you more,
I will fasten my faith,
I will raise my voice and sing you one more poem from my heart,
Just to tell you how much I miss you dear friend.
Isaiah 8:17
Job 23:8-10.
