~Insomnia's Gift~

    
A thousand nights, sleep hides away,
      circling 'round, delaying landing,
          I've poured my heart out onto paper,
                       things never spoken aloud,
                           astounded by the clarity
                                  4 am silence brings~

        ~Usually, I am kept from sleep
              by all that surfaces
       when stillness comes, & I can hear
        the truths my heart's whispering~
      ~Last night, Father, I knew You were
             keeping sleep from me,
         gently speaking into my spirit,
                revealing what I asked to see~

       "Here is the way, walk now in it,
            forget what came before,
         the wandering, the resistance,
         before you is an opening door,
    you wondered how the mish-mash of your life
             would work together...
    ...Well, now you know I planned it all,
          & have had this plan forever,
       & you must choose to walk by faith
             like you can't even see
            the obstacles I will remove
            when you fully depend on Me..."

         I woke up different, knowing now
              there's no turning away
        from what You've shown me I'm to do,
             I will press on, & stay
           right here on the narrow path,
            & trust tomorrow will bring
          Your guidance & Your provision,
            & another new song to sing!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This night, He made clear the next steps, & began to unfold things i had been blind to, in my focus on the problems, rather than seeking Him for solutions...
