I KEEP TURNING TO YOU

 

In all

through all

with all

by all

I keep turning to You.​​​

 

Detours 

distractions 

disappointments 

desolations

I keep turning to You.​​​ 

Unmet 

unresolved 

unfinished 

unfulfilled unfulfilling 

I keep turning to You.​​​

 

Suspicions hesitations indecisions

fears frenzies forebodings 

rumblings restrainings restrictings

dread panic terror

I keep turning to You.​​​

 

Erasing all doubt

purging all treason

washing all blackness

Your love ever-present 

swathes me

I keep turning to You.​
