Praising the Lord for all He has done,
my heart light,
my eyes bright,
just quietly glad;
feeling Him here,
knowing He's near,
knowing from where comes my joy.

But nearby
are eyes:
dark, or sunken,
worried, searching,
blank, or covered
by a thin veil of superficial joy.
Make-up to hide the fears,
bottling up so many tears,
eyes waiting,
         wondering,
         hoping,
         dreaming,
Haunting.

And I sit here,
fireworks in my heart,
and just can't get myself
to say a word.
Not my best I guess.
Written on the train (like a lot of my things haha - I travel too much). I suddenly realised how much God has been doing with my life which I had never expected to happen, and was feeling all happy - and then I noticed how some of the people with me on the train looked so very sad.

I've inherited a lot from my grandfather but not his ability to just sit down next to a random person and start talking and evangelising. *sigh*

Well, I think this is a symptom of our generation. We are almost all on this boat... some say that to Jesus come back, the whole world should know about him and choose stand with him or not. Ironically, it seems this silence will be the reason for His come back, but in a bad way... because of the wickedness in the world... because we're silent.
But yet, should this silence be not just the path for the destruction, but also for "claiming rocks" and corageous demonstrators? I don't know...
