Anguish

Anguish

Not understanding why .

But the sudden urgent need

To run and to get away

From everything in life

Overwhelms me intensely,

And in a vain attempt

To escape from it all,

I crawl into myself.

Emotions are dulled,

Deadened to whatever

Is the cause of the pain,

And I feel confused

In the busy-ness of life

Going on around me.

Deep within me, though,

I yearn with all my being

To feel whole again,

And at peace with my soul;

But the deep ache inside me

Echoes the loneliness

And the incompleteness

That has engulfed me.

As every fibre within me

Screams for the closeness

Of Peter's loving touch .

So I find myself running

Further and deeper away

From the pain in my heart.

Oh Father, on my knees

I come to You for help,

For I sense a fragile thread

Of hope and salvation .

My umbilical cord to You,

Through which You have

Quietly sustained me.

Can I take Your hand, Father?

For I know that without You

I'll be unable to break

From the panic in my mind .

For only You will be able

To lead me from the maze

Into which I have lost myself.
