Wishing And Surrendering




This is me today.


 Wishing And Surrendering 4/4/12

Waiting:
It feels like I've been doing that
Forever
Without definite answers.
Trusting
Is a continuous warring
Battle
But You give me the strength.

Wondering:
It feels like I'm asking all the
Time
Yet mostly hearing my own voice.
Listening
Is quieting my mind to hear
You
Speaking guidance to me.

Hoping:
It feels like I'm reaching for elusive
Winds
That slip through my fingers.
Obeying
Is giving up my selfish
Desires
To joyfully do what you require.

Wishing:
It feels like I'm floating on fantasy
Dreams
That cannot be fulfilled.
Surrendering
Is letting You take full
Control
To do with me as You will.

  1. Great work, Za! I like the single words and how it alternates between verbs. It really puts a lot of focus on the meaning :) Thanks for sharing!

    1. Thank you, Andrew. :) *Looks at the "alternates between verbs" * I didn't plan it, but I'm glad it focuses the meaning. :)
