“Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.” -Psalm 73:25-28
When suddenly, within a day
the world stops
reality as I know it
stumbles, it cracks
this cistern
once filled
empties, seeps
through the brokeness
for it can never be filled
only One is true
only One is whole
a present help
a beautiful refuge
the cistern without blemish
pure, without spot
full of hope and a future
filled with promise
faithless
He is faithful
hopeless
He is our only hope
