The Change Deep Within

tears fill the heart
flooding hope with grief,
breath becomes a chore,
fighting for relief.

broken and alone
shadows in a rush,
journey through the harsh,
landscapes start to crush.

shame controlling thoughts
choking on remorse,
centred on myself
doubts become my course...

grace fills the heart
flooding grief with hope,
breath a precious gift,
love; the way I cope.

broken yet restored
shadows fade to light,
journey of the blessed,
landscapes of delight.

peace controlling thoughts
dwelling in God's might,
focused on His mercy,
sacred in my sight.
