Skylark Woodrow Poems

Our sovereign Lord has given us a power above any other,
The power to love.
The power to love can save us when we are in danger,
Comfort us in our sadness,
...

Have you ever been friendless in the midst of a crowd?
Have you ever been lost in a sea of acquaintances?
Have you ever been alone surrounded by your "friends"?
You look around and all you can see are people you're supposed to "know",
...

I am afraid,
Afraid of what I do not know,
Afraid of what I cannot see;
But this place..... it brings me peace.
...

Meet me here;
In this place,
In this time.
I am waiting for You.
...

Poison pours off your tongue,
As smoke billows from your mouth.
Bitterness seeps from your pores;
You're toxic, right to the core.
...

Within the Earth dark and deep,
I awakened from Winter's sleep.
I felt the pull of the sun beckoning me, onward and upward,
It gave me no rest.
...

I want my peace,
Just let me die.
Dear God, why do you keep me alive?
I've been ready for the end since practically the beginning,
...

Stop,
Look at where you are,
Look at how far you've come.
It's okay to take this moment and stop and rest.
...

I have trouble telling you the truth,
Because of all the lies I've listened to.
Lies that you were unworthy,
That you would never be enough.
...

The perfume of flowers washes over me.
It is night,
The night being a time of rest and peace.
The moon smiles gently from above,
...
