Waiting within my Haven

Accepting the fact that you are leaving
But knowing that its not goodbye
Holding you close to my heart
As if you were still by my side
The absolute contentment
Found while being in your arms
The tender feeling of your kiss
Make it seem as if nothing can go wrong
Wanting you to know
That you mean so much to me
The love I feel for you
Is more than I ever thought it could be
Trying hard to be strong
Not wanting you to see
As the tears from missing you
Slowly stain my cheeks
When I lay in bed at night
Enveloped in its soft folds
I close my eyes for comfort
Longing for your touch
Thinking about your gentle caress
Which sooths away my fears
And carries my mind away
To a place of pure complete release
Finding my sweet haven
Within my thoughts of you
I wait for your return
To lie in your loving embrace once more
Longing to remain indefinitely

Calming Addiction

The beautiful and calming images
That you make dance
Through out my head
Helps me to forget
And stops making me wish
That I was dead
With every inhale
That I take
I fall deeper and deeper
Into your embrace
Showing me a glimpse of hope again
When having to look at my face
I hold you so deep inside of me
As you slowly scar me for life
In hopes that you will cover up
The true insecurities I hide inside
My life because of you
Is completely out of control
You continue to take a piece of me
And slowly envelope my soul
They call you an addiction
But you are the facade for my affliction
Come hide me in your haze
That I may rest
In the comfortable state of a daze

The Reason That I Live

God, I know that youre there
And I know that you care
I know I have a purpose in life
And thats why you put me here
I know I need you more
Than life in itself
Please help me to understand this
That I may think not just of myself
Help me to see
Life through your eyes
That I may understand
The reason you died
I dont want to live
As if it is all just in vain
I want to live in your purpose
And do for your Name
God, I know that youre faithful
All sufficient and true
I will find my purpose in life
Living for you

A Portrayal of Life

Life is like a story
Out of the book of our lives
Or is like a play for all the world to see
Everyday, a new chapter is read
Or a new scene emerges
To be played out before our very eyes
The beginning and ending of each day
Is like the opening and closing of a book
On a new chapter
Or is like the lifting and lowering of the curtain
On a new scene
But this is what makes everyday so interesting
Because nobody knows the beginning or end
Or even the in between
Of any life chapter or scene
Each one is different
And one must live their lives to the fullest
For fear of being left unseen
--Seana McKinstry


Unseen Desire

Youve heard it all your life
A voice calling a name
You recognize as your own
It comes as a soft bellied whisper
Sometimes with an edge of urgency
But always it says
Open your eyes my love
And see what you are missing
Remember where you belong
And let your memories envelope you
Taking you home to your beloved
With every longing breathe
Hold tenderly to who you are
Letting a deeper knowledge of life
Color the shape of your humanness
There is no safer place to run too
The sweet haven you search for is here
Open your clenched fist in wanting
And see what you already had in your hand
