The clouds have cleared
He dried up the fog –
I let go and let God
& he dried me up too.
I experience clarity now
On a regular basis
I can see how I have had a pattern
Of relationships
That have complicated my clarity.
For me, Single is a rarity.
I longed for love
But not the Biblical kind
That is patient
And always protects and perseveres.
There were many fears
Nipping at my ankles
As I entangled myself
Time after time
I put my heart on the line
It didn’t matter if it was right –
It was MINE!
& I knew best.
I found attention & lust
& called it love –
It has always been easy
To tie myself down
But the real challenge for me is found
In not committing
In admitting
That I need time to grow.
For now all of the rooms of my heart
Are full.
