In You Poem by Maia Padua

In my life, there are times
When I felt so lonely, feeling so empty
I’ve got nowhere to run, no one to turn to
nowhere to go.

My heart is so empty but I keep on feeling
I never know what I need, still I keep on searching
I never know where to go but I keep on moving
maybe to find You.

Until I found a place to be with myself
A place of calmness, to fight distress
With my pen and paper, my soul's reflecting
I draw You.

With Your merciful eyes you comfort me
I feel Your presence by my side
More soothing than the breathe of fresh wind
More calming than the waves of the ocean.

In your wings You hide me
All worries are washed away
Your voice ascends me to higher level
As I feel my heart filled with Your selfless love
And to continue searching, I need not go any further
For, in You, I have found my inner peace.

No more pains to feel
No more burdens to carry
For I have found my sanctuary
Right here under Your loving caress
You comfort me everyday
And it is all the comfort I will forever need.
