Heal My Soul

I've been waiting,

Long forgotten

Shipwrecked on a distant shore.



Am I drifting,

No more wanted

Floating outward evermore?



All the dreams that

I have harbored

In the labyrinth

Of my soul



Gone forever?

Not discarded?

Only sleeping

'Til they're whole.



In the graveyard

Of my heart now

Sleep the years that

I've long sold.



For their markers

Is there nothing?

Only ghosts I cannot hold.



Father, hear me.

I am tired.

Shall I waken in thy home?



Hold me close now.

I am trying.

Sweet Lord Jesus,

Heal my soul.
