Alice Affi Poems

We each are on a journey
Each journey has a path
As we travel to our futures
We carry the knowledge of our pasts.
...

When all friends are out of reach
I look up for solace
from my solitude
And I find the Almighty's presence
...

As a tangled catastrophy
Of ill-fitted notes
Tumble from me
I know You hear it
...

I envy the water
It has been from the beginning
It feeds life to keep the living living
It quenches and it satisfies
...

Rise up and seek the Lord
The sun shines blessings upon you
Through His Word
...

My Soul ascends to meet thee
I look down and through thine eyes I see
From here the will of thine heart is made clear
...

Give me a deep swimming pool
As vast as the ocean
Locked away in a private bathroom
Where I can disappear a while
...

Pour out my heart, O Lord
And see that it is as shards of glass
Fill me afresh with your Holy Spirit
Set my life apart to honour Your name
...

If only you could see
What's inside of me
I long to set it free
...

What have you done since your life begun?
Have you used what you've been given?
Are you aware of all the gifts God has given you?
Or are you just going to keep them hidden?
