How do we rest?
Knowing the end draws near
The time is around the corner
And my mind draws unclear
Clouds and rain
In between my nose
Lightning around my neck,
A place of quiet just around the eyes -
To be drenched in a storm of wet
Heat waves up inside my throat,
Warm suns’ drip onto my tongue,
Humidity fogs the forecast
And I am
Undone,
Between the temples
Demons wrestle,
Pushing at me
A parasol in the wind
I catch on tight,
Bleed for air
All when we cannot know,
What we might
Is this the right thing God?
Am I acting as I should?
The waves of spitting shores
Blind me as I pray
I’m judged by every Pharisee
And I cannot see the way
I wrestle in the low tide
Calm shores are ahead
But the battleground
Hails down
And has no need for give
Peace is coming
A silence
I cannot speak
Let me wait for
Clear skies
Days of calm
And open ocean
Soft cloud springs
Lilllies on the lake
When I am settled
Within my heart
And
Have no need
To fight
