It’s not a matter of how close I am getting,

Walking down this tunnel,

It’s more where I am.

 

Can I see more as I get closer?

Yes, but the light is so bright … it hurts my eyes,

And illuminates all my past;

Plus reason wants me to stay where I am.

 

 

Illuminated,

I know what the ground is where I stand,

I can trust myself and God evenly here,

But not when I move forward.

 

Moving forward,

I have to trust Him more than me,

To want to be closer,

More than being safe, holding onto what I have.

 

However,

I can’t stand still,

I have come this far,

And still want to be closer to Him.

 

The only way forward is trust.
