Of Roses and Rocks by eternal-memories Published on 06/07/2008

If only i know how he feels,
If only i know what he thinks.
Here at the footstool i'll kneel;
Praying, "Help me Lord, I'm at my brink..."


At the brink of the cliff
Where pointed rocks lay beneath,
Like spears it would penetrate,
How am i to breathe?


Not knowing if these rocks may evolve
Into a cushion of thornless roses;
The centre at which butterflies revolve,
As in imaginary realisations of romantic proses.


Nothing can i do but wonder;
Wondering if rocks would break to reveal roses
Wondering if butterflies will emerge in their graceful poses
Wondering if pointed rocks would replace my proses


Sitting in my room i pray,

"Lord, help me to hang onto this cliff
Guard my heart and make it Yours
Push me over if it is Your will
For then i know, what awaits me is real."

I so feel this way right now. Life is always full of uncertainties, no matter how hard we try.. But i often find comfort in this, 2 Corinthians 4:16.The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. and it is quite true..=) Take care, and may you continue to live a life of surrender. :)

Life holds many unknowns. Moving into the mystery confident that whatever happens, it will be OK is easier with faith. Nicely done!

Oh my....this is a beautiful piece. Last stanza is one of the best I've ever read. I love this. Todd
