Loss

by Barb Berens

05.14.2014



I can’t find it~

The place I always stood

The confidence to step out

The reaction to the good.






Loss comes before me

A creature of its own

To taunt and hurt and forecast

A future filled with doom.






My Shepherd comes to greet me

To sing His faithful song

Of Healing and Redemption

Of life that’s gone so wrong.






My eyes are tired from crying

My knees worn out from prayer

Oh how does someone walk away

Not looking everywhere?






Boulders look too high to climb

Rivers far too swift

Behind them all a Gentle Hand

To Comfort, Heal and Lift.






Come face to face with longing

Come see the Gracious Tide

Forgiveness Growth and Music

A Balm in which to hide.






By Grace and Only Grace

I currently can stand

And face my foes unhindered

In the beauty of the land.






My lot is cast but that’s okay

My future is secure

I place myself in You again

There’s so much more to learn.

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
