farewells extended
still feel fragile and fleeting
how can a heart shattered
continue to break
eight nights remain
wrapped in African
velvet darkness, wishing
for a different end
to this story, knowing
it is not mine to write
He reminded me this morning
journal open, pen in hand
I have never set an easy road before you
will you ask for one now?
Or will you surrender to My plans?
When you pray
"whatever - for the glory of Your Kingdom"
do you mean it?
When you say "anything"
is it your "anything" or Mine?
Your own ears will hear him.
Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,”
whether to the right or to the left.
