Even Here

I was going through an old journal and I found this poem. I felt like it went pretty well with my last post. Enjoy!

Even Here

There is no silence

There is no music

There is only noise

Rushing and swirling

Like a raging sea

I can’t hear Your voice

I can’t feel Your touch

Are You even speaking?

Are You even reaching?

Are you even here?

It doesn’t take much

To make me feel like

All the joy and love I once felt

Is gone forever

It doesn’t take much

To make me feel like

This raucous noise

Will hide Your voice

Forever

But once again

I’m slowly realizing

Once again

As Your light shines

I’m finding

Even here in the madness

You’re my God

Even here in the raucous

You’re my Song

Even here in the chaos

That comes with this life

You’re here

And You’re reaching

You’re here

And You’re speaking

Even here.
