The Flame Within

A Life lived… Leaves us with questions?

Endless questions… Left unanswered.

Why is the sky blue?
Why do birds effortlessly fly….
While my feet are imprisoned on this Earth’s soil?

Deeper questions…?
Why are people sad…
Unhappy…
Aimlessly wandering?
Why can’t there be harmony on the Earth?

Why can some people openly trust…
Serve…
Need…
Our Loving Heavenly Father?
While others refuse His love…
And lead a life of emptiness…
Deep rooted loneliness?

Painful questions…?
Why did cancer take my dearest uncle?
Why did my spouse leave?
Why can’t my mother… Desire my love?

Hard to grasp questions…?
Why are some children granted the most nurturing homes?
While some children… Long for love and affection?
Why are so many innocent children abused… Mistreated?

Doesn’t it hurt?
Lord…how can you watch?
What is your plan?

Life lived… Continually piles on the questions.
When God… Can you God… Answer the questions of my heart?
Will my life’s questions… Receive Earth side acknowledgement?

Reaching out…
Some accept my gesture for relationship…
While other’s refuse my affections?

Reaching out…
Some accept God’s gesture for relationship…
While other’s refuse His affections?

Will any resolution come from these…
Hard questions?

At this moment…
Wide awake in the darkest of night.
Questions… With no answers hijack much needed sleep.
I long for answers…
Meaning to my life’s existence.

Through it all…
My Father has guided my wandering…
Ignorant…
Sheeplike heart.

Through It All…
He’s sought my self centered…
Self focused…
Sinful heart.

In the midst of unanswered questions…
In a bliss of answers…
I will trust.
