Hope

Hope:
-to cherish a desire with anticipation.
-trust
-to desire with expectation of obtainment.
-to expect with confidence: trust
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

Love is not a proximity but the intimacy of hope in ones heart.
I long to be near, yet still, do you even know who I am
How do communicate the fact, vulnerable to my own hidden pride
As if the very circumstance would define me
I don't want to go by emotions, if I did it would be poison
Even in anxiousness I dream, yet still grounding my feet
Fear of not how it could be, but in how it should be
Do i hear the voice of the one calling me
Complacency it seems you have the best of me

Lord where would you have me, when will my heart believe
Have I let my testimony define me
I need your urgency, mercy and supremacy
I acknowledge it's not about me, though at times I've made it out to be
Though you don't feel near, i will hope in your intimacy
my heart is yours, but I ask if it's time you would release in me

The desires locked up, it pierces even my thoughts
To release a song unto you and you alone
would it honor you, would it bring you glory
Path my journey, ignite my yearnings
The truest dance of your splendor captivating
You alone will and can satisfy
