SCARECROW
by Melissa ArelWatching the fields catch on fire, I catch myself just watching
Wanting to be among the harvest
Burning deep inside with a drink of the flames
But instead Ive compromised myself to just look
And pretend I am a part of the sweeping move
When in truth Ive felt safe enough to not let go
And scared enough to not release my fears
Ive fallen desperate
Crying out to the sky to take me down and tear me up
To come in and give me a brain so I can know Him better
Come in and give me a heart that I can love Him better
Give me a life that I can serve Him better
Ive been waiting for the rain when
I shouldve been looking for the wind.
