Beating Heart

Just a little bit of my poetic side.

The Beat, Beat, Beat of Your heart
I rest my head and close my eyes,
To the terrors of the world,
How I long to silence their cries,
This empty life is like a mural,
Here, in Your arms, I lose all ties,
My old life soon is furled,
By the Beat, Beat, Beat of Your heart.

My mind is perplexed by Your ways,
I cannot understand these pains,
The non-complexities of childhood days,
Now leave me naked and lame,
The questions of life I attempt to delay,
But the answers I quickly gain
In the Beat, Beat, Beat of Your heart.

A storm approaches on both sides,
I stand to choose between them,
One brings death and one life with their tides,
I cannot avoid; they hedge me in,
I close my eyes- no open- I run full stride,
To the one that echoes above the sin,
With the Beat, Beat, Beat of Your heart.

Hold me close, to me sweet words impart,
Sing me to sweet peace, a lullaby start,
And never cease, lest You depart
And I lose me guide, my navigation chart,
The Beat, Beat, Beat of Your heart.
