An Unsung Psalm

Things fall
spirits lift
soul spreads
a sad wisp

is this what I am to be
a shell of what I once called me
lost in a state of definition
caught up in the complexity of cognition

no more thinking
no more drinking
no more of anything

God what will this day bring

I feel like everyone around is better
I feel like everyone around is more

God I know I've felt like this before
when I was down in the dumps
and you lifted me out

you held my hand
and heard my shout
God you lifted me up and made me free
God please help me to remember what I am to be

who I am
what I do
knowing how perfectly I am created in you

a perfect creation
not perfect by me
but all that you have laid out for me

God you are good
wonderful and great
you make perfect
everything that seems late

nothing is overlooked
nothing is not seen
but everything is perfect

even in the in between.

"Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord."
Psalm 31:24

Be the Drop

Ripple
Trickle
Drop

When will
this madness stop

we wait for
one to go
and follow suit
in a
relentless pursuit
of what called us long ago

the answer
already known
the seeds sown
but for convenience rest

lets test
the waters

be the drop

that causes the wave
the movement
that each of us inwardly crave
so lets jump into the mix
do a daring twist
and break

what is stagnant and still.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
-Joshua 1:9
