I Once Rehearsed Conversation

My arm extended towards Your flame with a candle in my hand; all my efforts were in vain as the melted wax hardened over the pain;my prayers I rehearsed but it only made things worse all You want is conversation not verbose manipulation. "Today if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts" Through suffering we enter; through afflictions well arrive. Long, my soul, for conversationThe shame of a childs heart that longs for one more hugthe shame of a boys heart that wonders what hes worth

Can you replace all that was taken?Like snow in a warm climate these affections are out of place I thought these long arms were designed for an embraceCan you teach me love without restraint? During the tragedies in life I called out to YouDuring the victories in life I called out to YouThe reflection on the mirror distorted more and more and as our feelings waver were commanded to endure. oh as our feelings waver we are yearning for the cureMy arm extended towards Your flame with a candle in my hand;all my efforts were in vain as the melted wax hardened over the pain;my prayers I rehearsed but it only made things worse all You want is conversation not verbose manipulation. Today if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts Through suffering we enter; through afflictions well arrive. Long, my soul, for conversationI will take your hand dont worry. I AM, listen when I say: Take your tears, faithful. Well sow the promise that with joy well reap the suffering.We marched down the path that led so many to their apathy, as the winter that makes love grow cold came so violently. Its the temperature. Its the temperature. and its dropping. its dropping so low. Despite this long winter there before us stood an eternal flame. it never goes out. it will always stay the same. The warmth of Your flames is touching my skin, the death that precedes the new birth is a cold painful sting.
