Promise

I long to see your face

But I'm searching in the dark

Living in the questions

Bearing shadow's mark

I know that you are here

But still, I cannot see

I'm blinded by my pride

And pulled by gravity

I trust you have a plan

For something more than this

So I wait to feel your touch

And be graced by lover's kiss

Though I may not feel you now

Within my broken heart

I trust you to be near

For we've never been apart

Your peace has filled my being

In moments unexpected

You blanket me with hope

Though at times we're disconnected

I will search amongst these shadows

And trust I am not lost

For I know you will not quit

No matter what the cost

I am humbled by your presence

And hopeful in your word

I will someday rest in you

For my heart, your love has stirred
