In the cloud, I hear your voice, enticing,
inviting, with a whisper resonating the spirit,
loosening the bindings from a soul.
With anxious anticipation I stumble through,
finally to realize I'm not prepared,
I'm getting closer, but still, I'm not ready.
Calling me by the name you have chosen,
always brings a tear to the eye.
I'm working harder to fulfill my obligation.
By faith alone you have healed me,
you've placed your love deep within,
my every footstep is guarded.
Constantly I cast my eyes towards the sky,
searching the clouds for answers,
guiding me to where I must be.
The clouds come and go but,
the fog has lifted,
no longer do I live in desires.
There is much strength in meekness,
I do believe in get what you give,
this child chooses to remain pure in heart.
Even though I'm unprepared I'm still disappointed,
this too will pass as I bow to you,
thanking you for the life I live.
So much to say, so much to do,
each day is getting better,
living my life in your cloud.

This a beautiful piece. "loosening the bindings from my soul" is a tender picture.
Hearing God's voice is a prelude to the rest of our lives; willing and searching to hear it always, keeps us in a place of strength.
The power of meekness is not one that is often sought for in a world that likes fast and flashy.
That exercise of choice you express, in choosing to remain pure in heart, predetermines a lot of decisions that could otherwise be agonizing, arriving in times of weakness.
Love the gratitude expressed.
I really enjoyed this piece.

This is excellent...It brought tears to my eyes....
Such a humble declaration here through your beautiful words......
This one truly reminded me of one of my favorite beliefs:
"There is much strength in meekness,
I do believe in get what you give,
this child chooses to remain pure in heart.
Even though I'm unprepared I'm still disappointed,
this too will pass as I bow to you,
thanking you for the life I live.
So much to say, so much to do,
each day is getting better,
living my life in your cloud."
and the ending and amazing...
I am truly touched nby this piece....
Lynda
