Exploding light –
Flowers as angels
Offering hope
For it is only for a day
Through cruel sorrows
Suffering and despair
I will trust
When summer scorches
And rains begin to flood
I will trust
When drowned by tears
And hearts are torn apart
I will trust
When night prevents
The sun from shining
I will trust
We are created
We are loved
I will trust
Every step we take
If taken in faith
Will lead us to
The other side –
It will happen
Just believe
This morning I woke up in the heat of summer, low on seritonin and happy pills in general, so decided today is the day for ice cream (and anything else I can find).
So I indulged in ice cream and Turkish delight and homemade milkshakes and marshmallows and pasta followed by seconds and lemon dessert and candy and went back for more ice cream and cheese toasties with extra cheese. And coffee with cream because who cares about soy.
The day is not over yet.
Should I persevere?
Do I continue to hit my head against a hard brick wall?
Or is it better to just give up?
If the path before me is leading to a blank dead end, where to find another?
I can’t breathe
I can’t move
I can’t speak
I can’t be
I need room
I need solitude
I need quiet
I need space
Looking back and
Looking forward
Searching everywhere
Seeing all my
Missteps and failure
Bringing sorrows,
Desolation and despair
I don’t understand
Don’t see the reason
What happened
To lose my way –
Where is my victory?
Surrounded by night
The morning dawns
My dreams awake me
From tired yawns
I may be weak
I might be wrong
But your endless love
Makes me strong
He’s in the flowers and the roses and the sunsets and the sunrises and the birds singing in the morning and in puppy dog eyes and in giant golden leaves.
And in hearts.
