Weakness & Strength

In the domain of a heart desire is persistent
But in the eyes of heaven a soul became resistant
And the longsuffering is unwavering
But one man remains unworthy of love
His journey is his only wound
His hunger is his only food
And yet, in her presence he walks upon water.

Sadly insane he wakes up from another day
Sleep has slipped his grasp, been whisked away
And the affliction is overwhelming
But one man braves the tempest
His heart is his only soul
Peace is his only goal
And yet, he finds himself buried in burdens.

Behind every lock hides the needed key
Humble only finds itself on bended knee
And the questions are silent answers
But one man has lost his dignity
His love is his life
His pain is his strife
And yet, she stands steadfast at his side.
