She Writes Away the Years by Kathleen Higham I heard a distant thunder, as Her story unravels in my mind My eyes ached, hurt, then leaked When at last she left behind. The puddles forever in her heart An author looks into the mirror Crawling, dragging from life to life Waits to shed her final fear. The words are searing, scorching Perilously close to calamity Produces this sobbing masterpiece Through time, skirts insanity. A woman's heart always hopes Strength comes in the darkest night The pillow soaked, I know it well Reeling from this agonizing fight. She writes with a trembling hand She writes, she writes her every cry Digging deep for honesty, He's there The finality elusive in her sigh. Faith, love, truth, hope abides God fills the emptiness somehow But love, well love conquers all The burdens not so weighty now. She writes, writes away the years The beginning, the end, the in-between Creating, the artist hears His Word Authentically birthed an amazing being. Her gift pours out endlessly Lines blur with salty tears Real, oh it is absolutely real She writes, writes away the years. Truth hurts, love hurts, and time Ah, time sometimes it steals But when she writes, time comes Brokenness binds realness, then heals. You have reached inside your soul With abandonment, told your story Truth, love, hope, she writes "Life" Then to God gives all the glory….. |
