Poem 13: Open My Eyes

 

Open My Eyes


Open my eyes and look at the clock

I'm enjoying my sleep so why should I stop



my bed is so warm, outside it's so cold

excuses, excuses they're all getting old



I don't have to pee so why did I wake

One more decision you want me to make



I love you – lead me in Your will I pray

but not in the morning, later today



I woke for no reason or so I assume

try again later, maybe at noon



If I choose to listen maybe I'd hear

“I just couldn't wait to spend time with you dear”



Keep my eyes open & I'd hear much more

Maybe I'd find out all you have in store



the choice to sleep is deeper you see

“Will you open your eyes for you or for Me”

So I'll get moving, for Your will I pray

Excited to find out the plans for the day



Your way.


\Yahweh\


of course,

Sometimes you don't mind if i sleep

but I should be focused, asking at least



\Morning time can make the whole day beautiful.\

Poem 31: Waiting

Waiting You stand, at the door of myself. You wait, knowing I know. You heard, my voice acknowledge... But now, there's no sight of me. ...
