(a Post Integration Poem)

Habits and Echoes

I still talk to them at times

Sometimes I think I hear their voices

Is it my imagination

Perhaps just wishful longing

Or is it something more ?

I don’t know Lord

I don’t know.

Are they simply phantom thoughts

Still rattling through my mind

Am I just hearing echoes

Or have I fooled myself into believing

They are all gone?

I’m afraid Lord

I’m afraid.

I don’t want to need them anymore

I don’t want to depend on them instead of you

Yet I don’t like the loneliness Lord –

It is so quiet inside Jesus

So quiet inside.

Lead me down your paths God

Help me to move forward,

I must not, choose not to go back

So please

Keep me whole Lord

Keep me whole.
