Keep Going

By Ashrei (Ima Sari Wisenthal)

Keep Going AI Art by Ashrei Ima Sari

And the hardest thing is to keep pushing,

Keep working, keep walking forward,

When your wounds have not yet healed -

With every step you take - you bleed,

With every advance, you feel more weight,

With every elevation, ropes tug your faith. 

How do you keep moving when broken open? 

When wounds are starving to have no more emotions?

Comfort me, embrace me, give me Your love. 

Take me into Your wings, wash me in Your laugh,

Baith me in Your presence, allow me one more encounter. 

Hold me by Your side across the valley of depressing sounds. 

Remember to remind me, my support, my companion. 

How do you keep smiling when inside is still burning?

Afire with pain, with hurt, with love, no longer ignored.

Teach me to walk in Your wake, 

Show me where the water flows, 

Reveal from where the wind blows. 

Take me home to You, my Divine,

Offer me Your precious treasures, 

Be my guide, lead me to where - 

I should start digging for my pleasures.
