Before and After
I wonder what kind of paths I will find Before you, my clumsy intentions found only testy roads I got dirty Mud up to my waste and I fought my way Working harder to trudge through Before you, my hardened disposition mirrored the way My body touched upon hard falls And I learned what my own blood looked like I was never satisfied There were dark days that had the face of virgin winters Unfamiliar and so lost Storm after storm sent me seeking shelter, into arms that were too weak to hold me Safety, validation that my heart was still beating Survival, surprise in the sunrise and wondering where I was Again and again I saw distorted faces of my enemy And I dreamed of things that left me yearning for light The mystery has found its way to me now On floors made of rubies Emerald skies Waking up and feeling all that is around me Not just breathing But being Alive Now seasons go by and I am dancing Nights come.along where my feet don't touch the ground When the storms come along i am singing Purpose and will are my children We plant gardens to feed the days We rest and then we celebrate We never lose hope or the resources to hope again What will the road be like ahead Heaven manifest Bare feet lightly treading on designer grass The sound of angels singing praise Multicolor birds resting on sturdy branches that line the way And I never get tired of wondering What new way I will be walking with you |

| Jaz, I like this one a lot. It could be read as written to your husband, your love, or it can be read as someone finding God, and Faith. And I like each interpretation equally. This could easily be me at different parts of my life. I had some very self-destructive tendencies as a young adult. And although I was raised with a strong faith, I'm not sure how much you know about it until you lose it, or perhaps, can't really see it as clearly. I think both have to be tested in the storms of life to really be appreciated. This is going to my faves, so don't delete it! Jan | Posted on 2016-01-07 00:00:00 | by jaycee | [ Reply to This ] | |
