The Light

And so, entrenched in deepest night, beyond the sunlight's glare,
We have a choice of pith or might, redouble or hold ensnare.
And be the burden far too great to reach beyond this step, 
For we are but a little mite, determined yet inept,
Tis then we must remember Him, remember in His grace
He holds us closer than we think. Look up and see His face. 
For he doth not rely on us to understand all things, 
His hand will steady, arms will hold, He'll be our warm embrace.

(Up to this point was written Oct 13 2011. Today as I re read it, I'm adding the next part. )

The conversations in our head
Bind us, keep us there
Feelings made of mud and muck
Familiar in embrace
The greatest love He has given
Is within us all
To step past mire and know inside
We've always been the power
Of choice and love, of letting go of shoulds and being right
To step past fear that holds us tight
Keeps us small and snared
Hidden from our light
To finally see the arms of Him
Have always been reflecting 
Who and what I've always been
And evermore will be
Caring and courageous love
Generosity of heart
The beauty that I see
Has residence in me.
