I need peace---solace,
Safety from the storm.
A pause in my existence,
Where conflict's not the norm.

I need to hear Thy voice,
Ever assuring and calm.
To feel of Thy presence,
Consoled by Your healing balm.

No more increasing agitation,
No fault to lay the blame.
No more continuance of days,
That seem habitually the same.

To all that I can not change,
Release my tightened grasp.
Invoke a change within,
Hold me in Thy clasp.

Continue in Your walk with me,
Although I fail to speak.
I think of much to tell You---
Even if my voice feels too meek.

Teach me patience by example,
As You have been with me.
Having faith and hope,
One day I'll clearly see.

Someday I'll have a follower,
I'll log on and I'll see,
That someone takes an interest,
In the things that make me, me.

I will not let it thwart my words,
I will not get dismayed.
Even though I sometimes think,
On paper, my words should have stayed.

I do not write for others,
I write to release a need.
So I should not be concerned,
What others do not read.

I am just a poet,
And history isn't yet.
I am not dead and gone,
For now, my words forget.
