Climbing the Heights

For where do I place my affections

For where do I place my affections
Remind me of my obsessions
I am all confessions
But what of thee

Thou art unchanging
My heart is broken
It bleeds a little at a time
Yet you alone know 

More than I could ere believe
Thou hast gone farther still
Thy love tis more than this
Forgive me of my Judis kiss

I must move on
I must surrender
Dare I remember
And live in memory

Alone I am not
Though all too oft
I can myself deceive 

In thee alone may I
Believe fill the void 
I do avoid to admit 

Thy love alone enough
Let me not forget 
This hope I have remains

Yet drive me from 
This fit if it is not
Within your plan

My heart is in your hand
And though I may not
Understand I must believe

Thy ways are true
Thou and thou alone
Wilt do and no one
Ere beside

-Joshua Lee Foist
