Silent Chambers of the Soul

by | Feb 14, 2023

Do you think in pictures or in words?  I often wonder if it is the same for me and you. A lot of the time I think in words, which helps me to make sense of my thoughts.  Yet there is a struggle that rages deep within me that is hard to put into words.  It is a constant barrage of thoughts that I strive to chase out of my mind.  Images and feelings that I can’t quite put my finger on, nor can I put words to these thoughts. As I fight this battle deep in the silent chambers of my soul, I feel lost and confused.  I feel like I need to tame these thoughts, for there always seems to be so much at stake – my hope, my happiness, my peace of mind.  Yet I know that through it all, God is there fighting beside me… giving me the courage I need to fight through my struggles.  In the end, God will light the way. 


Silent Chambers of the Soul
 -Krista Longeway

A constant surge of thoughts swirls in my head
So many words that often go unsaid
I fight a battle that no one else sees
A struggle that can bring me to my knees
Deep in the silent chambers of my soul 

I fight against the pictures in my mind
As I put on the mask I hide behind
I try to make sense of the things I see
A narrative that must not define me
As I battle in the chambers of my soul

So back and forth they battle to the death
Till I am left trying to catch my breath
It always seems like there’s so much at stake
Will I then tame these thoughts or will I break?
Deep in the silent chambers of my soul

Yet there is light within these battles fought
A spark of hope within each trembling thought
I reach for that which helps me to defend
I wonder who will win this in the end?
As I battle in the chambers of my soul

God is the light that helps me through it all
God is the hope that helps me not to fall
I put my trust in what I know is true
And with this hope I finally fight through
The battle that rages deep in my soul
