Finding Restoration in Neverland

a sip
with each breath
like a dip
a twist
a turn
through the water
which quickens
and burns
away the world
in which we have too soon
been hurled

past the expanse
of the walls
which kept away the monsters
but with a sword on my back
and a spear in my hand
I am learning to withstand
to jab

and to block
push
and to knock
the things which would
torture
and change
my mind rearrange
but rearrange no more

as I choose to kick those things
out the door
of my mind
closed off to my heart
letting in
only things of him
and loving
more
the moments
when I swim

lost in the water
of more than the soul
the Spirit
which carries me
and is making me whole

we will make it to fight another day
and find our neverland someday ( :

"Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
     my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
     he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, you people,
    pour out your hearts to him,
    for God is our refuge."
       -Psalm 62:5-8
