I CRY


HAPPY FIRST OF THE MONTH HEIRESSES! THIS ABSTRACT PIECE IS CALLED I CRY...HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE CRIED FOR HIM? WHO IS HE, YOU ASK? WELL READ AND SEE....I CRY....

I CRY

ITS VERY NORMAL

RARELY PEOPLE NOTICE ITS ABSENCE

YET I DO AND ASK THIS QUESTION

BUT WHY DEAR LORD HAVE I NOT CRIED

I SMILE INSIDE

BUT OUTWARD SIGH

AND ASK THE QUESTIONS

BURIED DEEP INSIDE

FROM IMPACT, ATTACK TO THE POTENTIAL HORRIFIC SUBTRACT

I SEE THE OPEN FIELD OF DESTRUCTION AND DISDAIN

YET INSIDE MY HEART HAS BEEN WANE

BUT UPON MY FACE NO STREAKS FROM THE STRAIN

WHEN MY FEET ENTER THE HOUSE

OF WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENT

I FEEL A FLUTTER AND BEGAN TO MUTTER

AND PRAISE

COULD THIS BE A POSSIBLE WELL

IN THE OUTSIDE CORNER OF MY EYES

HE ALONE HAS THE CENTER STAGE IN MY MIND

THE ONE WHO HATETH STRIFE

ALLOWS ME TO OPEN MY EYES DAILY, MUCH TO MY DELIGHT

YES HE IS POWERFUL AND HIS WORD IS HIS LAW

AND I RECALL

AND I REMAIN

AND I LIFT MY HANDS WITHOUT SHAME

I NOTICE MY FEET RISE

MY HIPS TWIST

THIS IS A RETURN NOT A VISIT

YET CONGREGATIONAL COMMUNION MAKES MY SOUL CHURN

MY HEART HAS THE FAMILIAR YEARN

TO LISTEN, LAUGH, GIVE, AND LEARN

IN HIM I DO TRUST

I HAVE NO DESIRE TO STOP, CEASE, NOR FEAR

THE CANKER WARM AND LOCUSTS ALL FEEL LEER

HE IS MY JOY

IN FACT MY MOVEMENTS QUICKEN

MY THROAT THICKENS

AND I RECALL

THE ONE,

HE HAD IT ALL

YET GAVE IT FOR FREE

TO SAVE A LOST SOUL LIKE ME

AND FINALLY RIGHT THEN AND THERE

KNOWING NO ONE CAN COMPARE

I CRY OUT THANK YOU THAT MY SOUL HE DID SPARE
