Breathe.

Voices follow everywhere, saying this and that.
We follow those here and there. Why? What do they have?
What don't I have? It's all about the why and not about
the moment. Who cares?

We need this, you need that. What's important?
Work? Food? Are those the only things with value?

Taking a pause, looking around, see what they have.
Is there true joy there? Are you filled with joy?
What matters? Is it this things? Are things what's important?

People! Breathe. Is it not a beautiful day?
Were you given another day of life?

Look around at those you've neglected.
Say hello, give a smile, be the change. It's not the world
that is completely at fault. We are the world.
If we want a change in the world, it comes from us first.

Caution

Anxious, running like a chicken with it's head cut off,
that's what my insides feel like. I need your peace.
Making quick judgements, acting instantly before thinking.
That's what has gotten me here. A bottomless pit.

Darkness is all around me. I thought I was going the right way.
What a silly thought.

A tugging at my heart and in my gut, saying this was all wrong.
My voice yelled louder to run. The quick pleasure won.

Cradled in the darkness, only your soft voice can reach me.
I am confused by whose speaking to me and what it's asking of me.
What do these riddles mean? Why is it so comforting?
I stand at your asking, unsure of what I'm to do.
One step at a time. You guide me with your love. I finally meet you.

I am in awe with your fulfillment of peace and life.

Filled

There is only one thing, he stands alone, but never leaves me alone.
I can be so grateful and thankful for knowing you. That is all I know.
You call to me when I run. You catch me when I stumble. Both due
to my own self-centered and selfish ways. I cannot always meet what
you ask of me. It seems like to much, but it is not being about to trust
myself with what you've entrusted to me. Your ways are pure. Mine fail.

I wish this would be constant Lord, as constant as you.
