Heartcry: Poems of love
I cannot say that I have ever thought of myself as a poet. But over the past year I have found myself feeling the heart of the poet. I guess the process of organizing some of my old works has shown me that much of my song writing was actually poetry.
This project is the result of the past few years and the title is very appropriate. My heart has been crying and hurting. This happens when you feel the weight of your own humanness hit you. This is what has hit me.
I have begun to write these feelings down on paper and then typed them out for this book. They are my heart and I know that much of them may be only clear to me. They are hard and painful and I know that much of what is written will seem dark.
I hope that you will connect with my heart and know what I am saying. I have expressed much anger about my situation and anger toward God. This is hard to admit but I know that God expects me to be open.
I am opening myself to you, my reader. Have not walked away from God, but instead have been drawn closer to Him through the pain.
Amidst all of this pain and hurt, I have found that He is faithful. Though I am angry and may shout and scream at the heavens, He is ever listening and comforting.
Even at my deepest darkest moment, He is there. This is the God that I serve and forever will lift up my praise. No, I have not forsaken Him, nor has He forsaken me.
If someone would have tried to tell me that I would one day write a collection of poems I would have laughed at them. But as I have worked on this project I have found the words coming easier than at first. I have found that many of the songs I was trying to write were actually poems. But more often they were just short verses or prayers that were being birthed within my heart.
I hope that you will be blessed by these words; often clumsy and cumbersome but from my heart to yours.
