Breathing

A Psalm of Kayla
2

There is emptiness before and behind,
Nothing above or below,
A vacuum inside.
You, my God, are what I yearn for
Intensely,
I crave Your presence
Increasingly,
You breathed life into me,
Your breath is my life,
I will climb the mountain
To where You are
So I can breathe again.

Selah

You were here yesterday,
Where are You now?
Weariness smothers,
Walls close in,
Feelings fail,
Self-confidence crumbles,
And yet I stretch every feeble fiber toward You.
I had God yesterday,
He didn't change,
I did.
I fix my sightless eyes on Him,
I know He is faithful,
My reach can span this chasm
But His can.
I will breathe again.
