Something I wrote when my soul was being troubled.
Oh Soul of Mine

Be still oh you soul of mine, be still.
For darkness will soon give birth to light,
And our troubles shall be no more. 
For what our heart desires secretly brings us death,
And its pleasures are only temporary.
Lead me not astray from the words of the Lord.
For Satan is crouched on our every side,
Waiting for his moment to strike.
Gather our tears in the palms of your hands.
So the heavens can bottle them up.
For tomorrow they’ll be the wine we drink, that will bring us joy.
You are the essence of my being, 
And in just a moment,
You shall be set free,
To roam the clouds,
Play amongst the stars,
Or dive into the sea if you chose.
So for now.
Be still oh you soul of mine, be still.
For darkness will soon give birth to light
And our troubles shall be no more.
