STACIA LYNN

 

 

Abandoned Heart

 

She walked along an empty street.

The darkness of night blanketing her soul.

Left destitute and depleted.

Once full of life.

A heart that beat strong

With passionate love,

Was now barren.

Exhausted, from the existence

Of a tragic romance.

She bestowed every depth of her being.

Extending her hand-

Finding an unanswered reply.

 

Her love overflowed,

Into a vacant wasteland of idle words.

Foolishness, Foolishness

She cries, to give herself away,

To an idle n’ inexpressible rendezvous.

Intimacy proved, Fruitless, Temporary, Forgotten…

After the door shut behind him.

So, her heart bleeds

With every abandoned step.

Mixing with the tears

Of unrequited Love.

 

Firm Foundation

 

Hiding within oneself, result of shame, regret,

Hoping no one sees.

As the shameful bite brought up bile

In the original sin, hid,

Naked and Afraid.

First initial feeling of panic set in

A feeling unknown

Due to heaviness that binds.

Into confusion and uncertainty; unrest

Tremendous darkness blankets upon

Permeating every perceived space.

Once a delight; A free spirit

Now chained to a lie,

Which thought was truth.

Shame covers like a blanket.

Weighted in memories:

Recalling; Oppressing

Remembering; Depressing

What if… Sinking in the

Should of… Drowning in the

What should I do…. Anxious about

Where should I go… Panicking in the

Am I capable… Uncertainty becomes

Running, running, running

From that which seems unescapable.

The northern winds bluster,

Toward an unknown destination

Carried by life’s wind’s:

Choices, decisions, demands.

Whirling, whirling, whirling.

Grasping unto stability, only to lose grip.

Time after time

Attempt after attempt.

Caught up in the tornado of inner thought.

 

Finally grasps ahold

Of a rooted tree.

Looking up, holding on for life

See a man, bound to the tree,

He was looking Heavenward,

Crying for you and me.

Perceiving the man to be in a state as mine,

Rejected, lonely, holding on for life.

Notice he’s beaten, tortured and bleeding.

Thinking this man was defeated,

Suddenly with great power

Escapes the nails which kept Him bound,

Defeating the evil all around, and

All the darkness which bound

To the tree in fear, found anew

The man in King’s garments

Embraced and then placed

A new white garment to replace

The torn and weathered clothes

From the wind and the rains.

He advises to stay and pray.

To build the house on the foundation built

Rooted under the tree

In which He sacrificed

The Cornerstone placed,

A sustainable foundation

Built with love, grace and purity.

Here I will remain, until the day

He returns to wipe every tear away,

With beauty and splendor

Rising from the depths, and anchor

To the firm foundation.

 

Twenty-Four Hour Cycle of Time

 

The sun falls upon the horizon.

Revealing the beauty before night

As the moon replaces its glory

Illuminating darkness in sight.

 

It is to be seen, as will be heard.

No longer will she silence the night.

Nor deafen the strong voice inside.

Or shall the still small voice hide.

 

Under the darkness that encamps around

As the leaves change from green to gold

His hand reaches out when it is cold.

Revealing noon’s brightness, or

A night that is bold.

 

All a twenty-four-hour cycle of time

As the body becomes dust to dust

The promise of eternal life stays.

Which has no time, in view from above.

 

In the day or the night, it remains.

The illumination of the heart

The promise continues, displays.

A glory too bright to part.
