What is to be done?
Tears flow,
A mind weeps:
Numb
Blackness creeps and
Settles near
Binding pain, deafening fear
Roaring anguish
Held in tight
Capture and holds
One’s heart tonight
To cast him out,
Or leave him in
Heart turned to stone
Or hurt again
An escape
One searches desperately
Hope,
Relief,
Release its plea
A place, a time
A destination
Free of pain and
Condemnation
Where sorrow flees
and woeful thought,
Despair and blackness
Come to naught
The reign of love
Renewed, restored
A height of joy
Above the sword
Of anger, hurt
Of all that hates
Of anguish, terror
Of endless wait
To find an Eden
Truth be told
One learns to be strong
One must be bold
And leap now blindly
With soul of faith
Into the Master’s
Loving embrace
An easy yoke
A burden shared
The tears all stored
With tender care
With nail-scarred hand
Held out to guide
And draw one gently
To His side
Gi’n peace in all
And wings to soar
Despite the chains
Despite remorse
A child ever loved
Shall be
Renewed through all
Eternity
Clench tight the thought
Cling to the hope
The Master loves
He’s in control
