Crying Out

Searching for the light at the end of the tunnel
But for this moment the sun has refused to shine
Trying to climb out of the pit that has held me captive
But with every step upward, I get weaker until I fall deeper back

I can no longer feel the beams of the sun as their arms stretch from the sky
I see the trees swaying, but I no longer feel the coolness of the breeze
The birds fly, but their songs I do not hear
The flowers bloom, but their colors I cannot see

My voice has been silenced
I cry out, but no one hears
I have lost my way, and my destination is uncertain
My heart broken and my hope lost

I long for the rains to come
Rain to beat down from above and upon my soul
To fill, renew and restore
I am dry and thirsty

I long to hear the voice of the One who knows all
To feel His touch and His embrace
To see his power and experience His healing
A Heart Healed and Hope restored
