Sharing from my many shelves of journals. The mostly biographical poetry and writing of an Australian Christian woman living with schizoaffective disorder.
Take Me To Narnia
Cas Reeves 2013
Take me to Narnia Lord.
I can’t find the way.
Aslan hear my prayers.
You are not a tame lion
But you are good.
I believe in what I cannot see.
My faith in the Bible
It is strong in me.
I trust in you God: Holy, Holy.
But I am here; time goes slowly.
My lives in Narnia
Seem like dreams I can’t forget.
I am Lucy, I believe!
Call me!
I will come Aslan!
Lord, my lamp is lit.
I wait in Lantern Waste.
When I was a little girl my mother read me all of the Narnia books. What a wonderful gift. Even in the darkest times of my mental illness that intricate allegory has made sense. I have gone back and read these books over and over. They have given me hope and perspective. This poem was written in the months before hospital.
