TIDES OF THE
HEART
By: Tyararr J. Jones
Waves of distraction meet me on bended knee,
Beckoning doubt and confusion as I humbly pray and plea.
Change cries out to me with a new face seeking to ignite my day,
Stumbling upon rocks of past experience as I seek to find my stay.
This swell of emotions that overwhelm the ponderings of my mind,
Running from my grasps, stability so hard to find.
Low tides of joy find me in the valley of what shall I do,
Refreshed by God's promises and mercies which are daily new.
Paddling on still waters as my soul salivates at constant peace,
Longing for the battles of my will and desire to finally cease.
Release me O God from the under- current of weary that shackles my feet,
Increase my taste for your Word that is filling and sweet.
My heart is thine O Lord to daily mold and prod,
I bow to you with honor for you are my God.
