Restoration


I feel like my wings have been clipped

My body stripped down 

My spirit shattered on the ground.

 

How will my voice be heard

Through this distracted world?

Will I always feel undone?

 

I cry out to you, please let me stay true

To my heart,

To my calm.

Please let me speak words of peace.

And let my actions speak louder than that.

 

I've stumbled on the path that is wrong

And now I must make it right.

I might give love, not fight.

 

My greatest mistake has brought my life alive

my dearest treasures I hide 

to protect

But it was all a joke, 

My essence is caught in the twirling tangles inside.

 

I cry out to you, please let me stay true

To my heart,

To my calm.

Please let me speak words of peace.

And let my actions speak louder than that.

 

I do remember you, my pure soul I once knew

Who only wanted to love.

I shall not cut off or cower away

I will reach in and recognize the gifts I have to say.
