The Secret Places of my Heart
Come shine
your light
In the
cobwebby corners
Of a heart
that is willing to
Grow today
You uncover a
gem
Where once was
but dust
A loaf where
was only a crust
Come dwell in
that place
And fill it
with warmth
Where once was
gloomy and bare
And the cold
made the shivers
Run right up
my spine
While my head
said
I’m abandoned
and spare
Hold my hand
and my heart
While I bleed
out my wrong
The pettiness,
shallow and vain
Clear the air,
clear the room
Where used to
dwell
Where I once
lived, sullen with gloom
Oh, shine out
your light
While eyes
sparkle and glow
With a smile
on my lips
A light
stepping heart, and a head
From which
beauty and truth flow
Oh, great
spirit, giver of life
Birth in me an
acceptance
That all your
gifts are good
Even the
spider on my bathroom
Floor and
maybe, I don’t have
To move it, or
fear it.
Comfort me and
it, oh God
of laughter
