something more than divine inspiration,
something more than divine providence.
is it just comfort? is it just hope?
reassurance.
intimacy.
a power in which I can confide.
a space where my spirit can rest.

some things are difficult to struggle with;
this tunnel we travel is dark.
yet we drift towards the light at the end,
and one day, we find ourselves found.

revelations occur in moments.
in confusion, i once found chaos.
yet i find truth in good things taking time.
the truth is, it always takes time.

patience is a virtue that I do not yet know.
in my failure, I find this is my own fault.
I know I desire to embody persistence.
I wish to be worthy of engaging with you.

in this darkness, I scrounge for something that shines.
You shine like a diamond catching the light.
It reflects within Your stone, bouncing off the facets within.
I wish to capture Your light as such.

with Your light, I could shine like a diamond.
I could be more than I am.
More than I could ever be on my own.
I cannot help that I am incapable without You.

this light does not flicker, 
nor does it waver —
and yet, it remains elusive.
masked by a veil of shadows;
only visible to those who wish to see.

there was a seal upon my heart,
yet I am graced with kindness and mercy,
as You reveal enough of yourself to me.
enough for my heart to hear and see;
enough for me to know
that You are the One I long to understand.
