Wander

I sit staring out on this on this beautiful day
And wonder how much does my heavy heart weigh.
I can’t find the words that will justly explain
This longing, this burning in my bones to stray.
This thought that I’d journey and see what I may
Consumes me by night and is there when I wake.
Consider my path and set out on my way
Is all that is left, for here I cannot stay.

White

Like a flag blowing in the wind
are my desires.
Violently flailing about,
ever restless.

But You steady my wandering soul.
You set me on a path of consistency.
You place me on a course that is direct,
made constant by the force of Your love.
Like the course of the earth around the sun

I will raise a white cloth
into the blustering winds
that drive my longings,
so that I flail in every direction
a flag of surrender.
