Ropes

 

[via]

i take a deep breath

attempting to untie these ropes

for the millionth time

it tightens again

of its own accord 

without my consent

i look to the heavens

and release my grip

because even if i don't

have control

i know Who does

and as my hands fall

the ropes fall off 

and the air rushes into my lungs

fresh and calm

and filled with Your Peace

that i don't understand. 

Stormy Peace

 

[via]

i looked at the clouds

obscuring my view

debasing my emotions

anxiety rising

waves of doubt pouring over me

and with the rumble of the thunder 

in my subconscious

comes a revelation

the promise of clean

the purifying presence of peace

wrapping itself like a hug

around my soul and my mind

because You never forsake me

You give me your love and mercy

every morning

with every mistake I've made

You've been there

waiting to heal me

and so with gratitude

i watch the storm roll in 

with no fear

only peace. 

Black Hole

 

[via]

the time ticks slowly, crawling by

like a creeping snail out the window

unaware of my angst 

unaware of this pain

simmering low beneath consciousness

do you know what this means?

how can we move past this?

you're my gravity

like a black hole pulling me in

all i want is to know you

to discover your depths

but we're stuck here in the moment

before forever

stuck in our thoughts 

and the limits of time

wanting more but getting less

as i watch the moments tick by

grasping for the moment that you'll return
