Awake

 

 

Awake

 

Your words come to me in the strangest of ways.

I am not even certain I hear them.

I am not sure they are from You.

Like a cloud image in the sky,

they appear suddenly and fade just as fast.
 

You are the sun’s rays shining off the mountain.

blinding my sight, so I can see with my heart.

You are the wind that answers my thoughts,

stirring me to action whenever I doubt.

You are the stars blinking at me,

answering questions I haven’t thought to ask.

You are the rainbow that lifts my spirits,

assuring me when I need it most.
 

A coincidence of needs fulfilled.

A timely message.

When You speak to me, am I listening?

If I could only see though a child’s eyes,

looking at the world with unwavering faith.
 

In my dreams, You wash over me with peace.

Sending me messages I do not understand.

Desperately trying to tell me something

that I don’t remember.

Was I only dreaming?
 

But this time, you spoke to me.

There was no mistake.

So clearly, I heard You,

A loud whisper in my ear

calling me, “Daughter!”

waking me from my sleep.

I hear You, Lord!

I am here Lord, I am listening!

I am awake!
