Sparkle

SPARKLE

Why do you feel so far away?
The sparkle of what we had has dimmed.
I kneel down like I always do, yet my prayers bounce off the walls of heaven and back to me.
Do you hear me?
I know you do.

Then why are you so far away?

Once in my life I felt your hand. You blessed my work and whispered my name.
Has this life gotten its deadly grip on me? Did I become the person I never wanted to be?

The pleasures and the sparkle of this world have hypnotized me.
It blinds me.
I try to resist, but the corner of my eye takes it all in.
My spirit doesn’t want it… but my flesh is enticed.

I am hypnotized by the sparkle, when all I want is to be hypnotized by you.
Oh, how I wish I could return to those lovely days in the meadow of Colorado.
Young and carefree…consumed by my passion and desire for you.
My spirit longed to be near you. My soul was enticed by your sparkle; your peace and fulfillment consumed me.

I yearn for your presence. I know you are here, but yet I do not feel you.

What must I do to once again be enamored by only you? How do I give up the longings of my flesh? What must I do to resist the pull of my desires?
Look into my heart. Know my longings! Whisper to me. Answer my call.
Be The Sparkle in my eye once again.
