Complaining to the Moon

Little sliver of moon

outside my window pane

and out above the world

You see so much

while I see little

Your vantage point

 is so much clearer

The sun that makes you shine

was hours ago

 above this place of mine

But now belongs to vistas far away

that I hope to see someday

Only in this time

I am stuck in this place of mine

doing droll things

that have a deadline

-Katina Hembree

Diverted Heart

I know this isn’t what you planned,

You’ve held your heart out in your hands

Waiting for someone to take a chance

On you

You’ve waited for so long

And have patiently been strung along

Wondering if it will come at all

For you

With so much love to give

A heart of gold and a heart to serve

Aching for someone to give yourself to

And for them to do the same with you

Oh dear, do not despair

For you won’t always tarry here

With lonely heart and aching soul

And searching for the perfect one

That seems to be the other half of you

There’s someone who’s being prepared

To be your number two

To fit with Christ

And fit with you
