Dawn & Dusk

A lament

Deep agony in my bones
Must I live with this forever?
Or will the ties to this condition
Once and for all, be severed?

Must I always have to push past
The pain in my soul?
Will I ever know what it feels like
To be made healed and whole?

Will I always have to fight
To hear my own voice?
Struggle against the wave of emotions
Rising at every single choice?

Must I burn in this fire
And never be consumed?
Or will I rise like a phoenix
From the ashes bloom?

Will darkness and peril
Always be my story?
Or one day will it all change
To the praise of His glory?
