When the heart is burdened heavily
The future is dim, bleak, and dark, like it barely exists
When the soul seeks a connection, a mate, a source of strength
One often turns to an inner radar and scans for companions rapidly
Dear ones that our need for encouragement and love would not resist
We seek kindred souls who genuinely care and are on the same wavelength.
At times, we find no human companion
It could be a period called the dark night of the soul
When we are totally bereft of human consolation
There may be none in our current dominion
Perhaps like Joseph, we have been thrust into a hole
And all that's left is utter desolation!
One must not be unaware of the love of the unseen Creator God at such times
He is the only ever-present and constant source of love
His love is never-ending, unfailing, and reaches to the ends of the earth
It edifies, elevates, and brings us back to our prime
Jesus is the expression of God's unconditional love sent from above
For he brought us salvation and divine love with his birth.
The love of God is love at its purest and best
A love that gives what is needed the most
The way out of danger, distress, and purposeless living
A path, narrow, from turmoil and heavy burdens into rest
Of this kind of love, a multitude can boast
For it is all-embracing, strengthening and life-giving.
