“How can I get rid of these feelings?” by Nathaniel McVay

Oh, how can I get rid of these feeling? Of wars and fights without any healing. Oh, how the clock has stopped, in the middle of time. I’m the only one on this small industrial planet, but I still feel like I have a companion… in my mind. Oh how the winds of the world have changed from their original form, into this beast that changes kindness into hatred, Peace into war, and the sinless into the sinful. How can I get rid of these feelings? Of sins that can’t be stopped, of Places I can’t destroy, of minds that can’t be cleansed? Once again I ask, “How can I get rid of these feelings?”, Only time will tell.

Vacant house
Face to the floor
"I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins."1
Thirsty
I am weary for Your voice
Even in the morning,
my dreams unsettle my heart
"I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof."1
Answer me, O Lord,
my heart is open to Your instruction
I listen for Your whisper
amongst the desert winds
"But you, O Lord, sit enthroned forever...In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish but you remain..."1
And You say, "Remain in me, and I will remain in you."2
"...you remain the same."1
