It's getting too loud, the silence is really deafening. The closed doors, the exchanged looks, the exasperated sighs, the monologues, the recognition, the words, oh yes the words. They wouldn't have known. It's been practised for years, no one would be able to know the difference. It's been cultivated, it can be controlled now, it's really scary. All drained away from the face, but never the eyes. They speak, speak of depths never told, mustn't told, look away, they wouldn't know. Beneath the curves, the lines at the corners, yes, they wouldn't know. Apprehension engulfs. Still, silence. All entwined, it's convoluted. I couldn't hear. The breeze, brought not the voice I wanted. His soft prompting drowned. White flagged, but I don't want to, I couldn't.
"Father, take this cup from me", but let your will not mine be done. Family?

The Water Underneath
Tomorrow is not a promise; but a chance.
Psalm 105:4-5 (NIV)
"Look To The Lord And His Strength;
Seek His Face Always.
Remember The Wonders He Has Done."
1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at the outward apperance, but the Lord looks
at the heart."
1 Corinthians 15:19 (NIV)
"If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are
to be pitied more than all men."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13
"Love is patient and kind;
it is not jealous or conceited or proud;
love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritatable;
love does not keep a record of wrongs
love is not happy with evil,
but is happy with the truth.
Love never gives up;
and its faith, hope and patience never fail."
"Meanwhile these three remain:
faith, hope and love;
and the greatest of these is love."
