deep..root

the thoughts they appear

like blades of grass

its presence is near

some borders are glass



the heart grows faint

but it bursts with new life

at the thought of renewing

outside of my life



tangled in silence

the unsuspecting air

revealing the truth

with each fading prayer



patience fails breathing

as fear wears its best

after eating a bowl full

of doubt and unrest



but under the soil

there lies a great root

replacing the other

and making new fruit



its message is heavy

but its result comes with light

the path can be winding

but can illuminate the night



the choice seems

but taps on the heart

for maybe a follower

will not yet depart



but in the due season

the fruit will produce

and its branches will talk

to the depth of the root



for now time grows slow

and strengthening appears

seeing God's work

after many tough years



continuing on

as sure as the sun

its beating reminds me

the growing is not done



but joy comes to rise

far as east and west

for knowing the Lord brings

only the best



i will follow Him

where He feels I can endure the test
