There’s emptiness without truth
dark clouds rising above
showing a darker shade of gray
taking parts of life you love.

These uncomfortable thoughts
rest heavy all the time
sleep doesn’t come easy
praying God will clear your mind.

Internal love with the truth
shines in a dim lit sky
reaching for the light of truth
that almost passed you by.”

“The Mountain Top

There have been times I’ve reach the mountain top
the view reminds me of failures I’ve gone through
although beautiful and calm, stealing my breath
I tumbled down only to start all over again.

God, why do you bring me so far only to let me fall?
this question haunts me with another lonely climb
whispering God’s name every few feet
He’s coming with me, the climbs not only mine.

Reaching the top catching my breath
the view was the same, a site to behold
but a voice right behind me was clear
your failures are gone lock them away
remember, I am right here.”
― Ron Baratono
