Can You hear Me Now?
An anxious heart can be many things.
It can be a call to silence.
It can be a call to prayer.
It can be a call to creativity.
It can be a call to work.
It can be a call to come clean.
It can be a call to slow.
It can be a call to organize.
It can be a call to risk.
It can be a call to forgive.
It can be a call to
stand up for yourself.
It can be a call to humility.
It can be a call to surrender.
It can be a call to rise up.
Oh this anxious heart,
So honestly undone,
Speaks the way it knows,
Unignorable voice,
Anxiety, like fire to
the touch,
Communicates, talks, SCREAMS like Jagger
And you cannot be the
same,
With a voice like
that,
Committed to you.
Try, try to quiet the voice,
Try to smother in mud,
Try to suffocate it with pill-ohs
It will scream ever
louder,
Until you hear
nothing else,
Oh anxious heart,
Never forsake or abandon,
For without you,
How would we know?
