How quickly
Squandered days
Pass, blur…
Hope yearns now
For
Departure

Flickering pulse
This soul is restless
In the dark
Is there a void in old heart
Or has it turned to marble
Given one chance
Swiftly slip beneath waves
Fanned by the chanting
Sirens of myth

Seems like there should be
More compensation for Life’s
Subtle injustice
Stuff that slides by unnoticed
Not of criminal nature
Small things…they pile up
Till one day limit is reached
And we can’t take more

Not my idea
Of a fun time…mental state
Often fluctuates
Surfing cresting waves…on land
Where’s the sandy beach, palm trees?

Oh this life of drops
And fumbles…can’t catch a break
Clock ticks…game over

What a relief, to stop running
Leave all the dead ends behind
Quit looking for Light in darkness…
“Be still, and know that I am God”*
Some people say He waits
For us to finally find Him…
I know He chases after those
He’s set apart, sealed as His own–
Stronger than movie super-heroes
He doesn’t get tired, can run
Down miles as long as it takes
To ambush (with love), wash us
Clean, cover our every mistake
He never breaks a sweat
Nor needs to catch His breath–
When I turned around to see just
Whose footsteps followed close
He scooped me up, held me
Hard against His heart…
No more running
I’m resting in Him
*Psalm 46:10

https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/05/15/threethings-challenge-m695/ Prompt words: Ribbons, Bows, Streamers
Shocked by her Exit
Unexpected (she’d seemed fine)
A handful of folks–
Mere acquaintances she’d meet
With smiles, trivial chatter–
Honored her heart by
Making colored bouquet from
Sparkly ribbons, bows, streamers…
Left outside her door
It spoke what now she’d never
Hear: “love won’t forget”

https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/05/13/three-things-challenge-m693/ AVOID, SIDESTEP, EVADE
It’s a waste of time
To evade, avoid, sidestep
Whatever matter
Is bothering you–tell me
Straight, or forget about it
