As My Heart Waits

I am waiting in the Silence.

Standing on the shores of my heart-

The roaring quiet thunders in my ears.

Still I am waiting-

But loss I do not feel.

As some perceive, my life has not yet begun. 

The deep horizon has yet to be chased-

In endless directions the heart to be pulled.

Yet still I am waiting.

A familiar Whisper, a soothing Call-

My heart knows for Whom I wait.

Some may say, when you have found your other half,

Or sailed upon some distant future,

Your life will have finally begun.

Yet here again, I find myself longing to remain.

Why move my heart onto future goals, 

To desire as others say

Will make me whole and complete-

Yet split my heart divided between Heaven and Earth.

Will the war between these desires-

truly make me whole?

For in these tarried moments,

I perceive more than silence.

But a sense of growing rapture-

beset in Heaven’s Gaze.

Stillness no longer my sole companion-

While standing on these shores,

Nor my dreams and heart divided in unfulfilled desires.

For the familiar Whisper has spoken.

Time has stopped its dancing,

Stillness now embraced in the rumbling of the Deep,

The One for Whom I wait has spoken-

And He has called my name.

My heart ignites, my dreams set fire-

The life within me awakes.

His Embrace wrapped in Heaven’s warmth, 

Seeps into my deepest canyons,

Immersing, freeing, soaring. 

Though no earthly futures fulfilled,

Or the arrival of a distant dream-

I find myself in You-

Whole in the waiting.

Now a new awareness rises,

A sense of why this fashioned heart-

Was formed upon this earthly plane.

For I am His,

And He is mine.

And that is enough.
